<p>Hey can anyone help me out with this? Why is the answer B not E? Thanks in advance. </p>

<p>I think you have your answer key mixed up on the first question… double check that.
The answer should be e) because crossing out what’s in between the comma, deleting superfluous stuff, and replacing the treaties describer with “about XYZ” we get…
“the philosopher________ about stuff”
the philosopher treaties were written by him about stuff? no
the philosopher the treaties he wrote were about stuff? no
the philosopher he wrote treaties were about stuff? no
the philosopher writing treaties about stuff? no
the philosopher wrote treaties about stuff? yes</p>
<p>you had to have a verb following the subject that agreed.</p>
<p>The second one can be split apart.
noun: course
what does the course do? it provides.
provides what? resources
resources that are comparable.
comparable to what?</p>
<p>Resources comparable to courses? no.
resources comparable to providing course? no
resources comparable to that of course? singular/plural disagreement
resources comparable to ones provided by them? them is referring to what?
resources comparable to those provided by course? singular/plural disagreement.</p>
<p>i think you copied down the answer/question wrong.</p>
<p>perhaps you meant “those of courses” for c) or “those provided by courses” for e).</p>
