For this question, we have to use COMPARISON and MEANING to pick the correct answer. Unlike mainstream American businesses, more than half of which fail, the failure rate for businesses in the Amish community hovers around 5 percent. A. Unlike mainstream American businesses, more than half of which fail Wrong. incorrect comparison (mainstream American business vs the rate) B. Unlike mainstream American businesses, in which the failure rate is more than half Wrong. incorrect comparison (mainstream American business vs the rate) C. Unlike mainstream American businesses, where more than half of them fail Wrong. incorrect comparison (mainstream American business vs the rate). Also "where" is wrong. D. While the rate of mainstream American businesses failing is more than half Wrong. correct comparison, but WRONG MEANING. "The rate is more than half" does not make sense. Half of what? half of 1% (0.5%); or half of 100% (50%). We never say "the rate is half". It's wrong. E. While more than half of mainstream American businesses fail Correct. "more than half of X fail" = the rate is more than 50%. MEANING is the first priority in this question.

parallelism problem 'business' not parallel with 'the failure rate'
