A larger percentage of Holland's gross national product is spent on defending their coasts from rising seas than the United States spends on military defense. Holland spends a larger percentage of its gross national product defending its coasts from rising seas than the military defense spending of the United States. Holland spends a larger percentage of its gross national product on defending its coasts from rising seas than the United States does on military defense. In choices A, B, and C, the plural pronouns their and they have no plural noun for a logical referent. Since In Holland modifies all of the sentence that follows, A states confusedly that Holland spends a percentage of its gross national product on military defense in the United States. In C, the passive is spent is not parallel with the active spends. Lack of parallelism in choice D produces an illogical comparison: the percentage that Holland spends is said to exceed not the percentage that the United States spends but rather its total military defense spending. Parallel phrasing allows E, the best choice, to make a logical comparison between what Holland spends and what the United States does [spend].
