According to a 1996 survey by the National Association of College and University Business Officers, more than three times as many independent institutions of higher education charge tuition and fees of under $8,000 a year than those that charge over $16,000.

A) than those that charge
B) than are charging
C) than to charge
D) as charge
E) as those charging

Code:
A,B,C are clearly out
Confused between D and E. Picked E as I felt 'those' is needed to maintain parallelism with independent institutions

It is not a Parallelism Question but rather a Comparison Question.

You need to check what is being compared here?

Number of Institution that charge $8000 is compared with Number of Institution that charge $16000.


Using (D): more than three times as many institutions (...) as charge over $16000 WRONG

Using (E) the comparison will be correct.

IMO (E).
