Chicago, where industrial growth in the nineteenth century was more rapid than any other American city, was plagued by labor troubles like the Pullman Strikes of 1894.
(A) where industrial growth in the nineteenth century was more rapid than any other American city
(B) which had industrial growth in the nineteenth century more rapid than that of other American cities
(C) which had growth industrially more rapid than any other American city in the nineteenth century
(D) whose industrial growth in the nineteenth century was more rapid than any other American city
(E) whose industrial growth in the nineteenth century was more rapid than that of any other American city

I chose E, but not sure about the result, please have a look.

Will you be kind enough to underline the part of the sentence going forward? Please consider every one else's difficulty and time lost in seeing through the Q multiple times with out part of sentence underlined.

C A D compare, chicago's IG with other American city. Wrong

B uses had and uses any other american cities rather than any other American city.

Also A B C, use where/which to refer to Chicago's IG. Whose is best.

Hence E for me too.

Are you not sure whether you chose the right answer? Or are you not sure of your reasons for choosing / eliminating certain answers?

If this is a GMATPrep question from your GMATPrep test, then you should know what the right answer is, because the test tells you the correct answer when you're done. If this is not a GMATPrep question, or if you found it somewhere on the web, then it should not be posted here. GMATPrep questions should only be posted here if you have seen the question yourself in the GMATprep software.

Please let us know the situation on this one. Sorry to be so strict on this, but on official questions, we have to make sure that they have been correctly transcribed. We have had too many instances of people putting stuff here that either wasn't GMATPrep in the first place or was pulled from another site (and labeled GMATPrep) but transcribed incorrectly somewhere along the way. People take official questions very seriously (as they should!), so we have to make sure everything is perfect when posting these!
