Multiple choice

Direction: Part of each sentence or the entire sentence is underlined; beneath each sentence are five ways of phrasing the underlined part are given. Choice 1 repeats the original phrasing; the other four choices are different. If you think the original phrasing produces a better sentence than any of the alternatives, select choice 1 if not, select one of the other choices. Citizens in country A do have a right to divorce, as citizens in some other countries do.

  1. as citizens in some other countries do

  2. as citizens have it in some other countries

  3. which they do in some other countries

A Correct answer
Explanation

(1): The verb “do” must be repeated in the second sentence to parallel the verb “do” in the first part. 2, 4 and 5 fail to do so. In 3 and 4, the pronoun “they” lacks a grammatical antecedent. Thus, 1 is the best answer.
