Minivans carry as many as seven passengers, and compared with sport utility vehicles, most cost less, get better gas mileage, and make it easy for passengers to get in and out, and have a smoother, more car-like ride.

A. and make it easy for passengers to get in and out
B. and allow passengers to get in and out easily
C. and allow passengers to get in and out more easily
D. make it easier for passengers when getting in and out
E. allow passengers to get in and out more easily


"compare with" We know that this is a parallel structure:

............................, and compared with (.............), (..............), (.............), and (...........), (...........).

We elinimate Choice A,B,C.
In D : "when VERBing" must apply to the subject (Here is Minivans) of the sentence. But it does not make sense, because Minivans don't get in and out.
So we go with E

通过语意来区分多层次平行,从文中可以看出cost less, get better, more easily, and have a smoother ride意味着要比较的是这四项，而carry 并不在比较范围内，所以第一个and 所并列的两大部分是carry与后面和sport utility vehicles.
第一层并列 carry as many as seven passengers 与 compared 后
第二层并列 cost less, get better gas mileage, allow passengers to get in and out more easily, and have a smoother ride.
