fast writing question

Meals prepared by the Algonquin Indians, who were farmers as well as hunters, included more maize and (pumpkin than other Indian tribes).

B. pumpkin that did those prepared by other Indian tribes
C. pumpkin than that which other Indian tribes did

Why would you choose B over C???

because B has parallelism.
also, C has “which”. What exactly does which refer to?..

So you mean coherence?

The original is comparing meals to tribes. You want to compare meals to meals. And meals are plural.

Yeah as bodangles said meals = plural = those, but that is singular

Makes a lot of sense. The sentence is also unparalleled with the “did.” Thanks everyone.
