Hi,

The correct answer to this questions given is E. However it seems that "instead of a "do" ther should be a "to" at the ent of the sentence.

Can anyone help? thanks


Although they are less obvious, termites does significantly more damage to homes than branches from trees.

Hi, ruben - I'm sorry you've had to wait so long for a response to this question - it slipped through the cracks somehow.

We want a "do" at the end of this sentence, not a "to." The sentence is saying that both termites and branches from trees damage homes, but termites damage homes more than branches from trees damage homes.

I think you might have been reading it to say that termites do damage to homes and termites do damage to branches? I can see how you might have read it that way - I suppose termites could also eat tree branches. (I don't really know actually - but if they like the wood in our houses, I'd assume they also like wood from trees!)
