Question

Choose the option that best corrects the underlined words:
Tim thought that playing solitaire alone was as enjoyable as volleyball with his friends.

• A. playing volleyball
• B. that of volleyball
• C. the game of volleyball
• D. NO CHANGE

Answer 1

The correct option is A playing volleyball

The underlined noun is not parallel to the grammatical structure of the phrase that it's being compared with. It needs to be changed hence option D is incorrect. Option A is correct because it follows the required structure to compare with the phrase "playing solitaire alone". Options C and D do not follow the same grammatical structure of the phrase that it's being compared with, hence they're incorrect.
