of grain farmers are to be allowed to grow and
to encourage
(B) and establish tighter restrictions on the amount
of grain able to be grown by farmers and
encouraging

encourage
(D) to establish tighter restrictions on the amount of

(E) to establish tighter restrictions on the amount of

Idiom; Parallelism
Although try and is an idiom often used in
colloquial language, in this sentence, to is needed
after will try to maintain parallelism: to establish
and to encourage. Th e correct preposition following
restrictions is not for but on. Are to be allowed to
grow is wordy; the infi nitive to be should be
omitted for a tighter and clearer expression.
A To should replace and before establish;
restrictions is incorrectly followed by for
rather than on; to be is wordy and should be
omitted.
B Here, the passive-voice construction
able to be grown by is weak and wordy;
the constructions and establish … and
encouraging … are not parallel.
C Will try establishing does not show intent or
purpose; restrictions must be followed by on,
not for; parallelism is lost.
D Passive-voice construction capable of being
grown by is weak and wordy; encouraging and
to establish are not parallel.
E Correct. To establish indicates purpose and
parallels to encourage; restrictions is correctly
followed by on; the wordiness of the verb
phrase has been eliminated.
