Instructions

For the underlined part of the given sentence, choose the option that is grammatically correct, effective and reduces ambiguity and redundancy.

Question 51

Saundarya’s Skin Nourishing cream sold 5 lakh packs last quarter, 20% more than their Face Wash did and nearly five times as much as their Anti-Ageing cream sales.

Solution

Option C is the correct answer.

In this phrasing, "their Face Wash" correctly compares sales without unnecessary repetition of "did" or "sold."

Additionally, since the statement uses "more" in the former part of the sentence, the latter part should also use "more" to maintain parallelism. The use of "as much as" is incorrect. 

Option A is redundant and awkward.
Option B has incorrect parallelism. 
Option D has awkward phrasing.
