<p>As his moviemaking career began to wane, Jerry Lewis remained in the public eye by hosting both a variety show and on an annual telethon with benefits for the Muscular Dystrophy Association</p>

<p>B) an annual telethon with benefits to the Muscular Dystrophy Association
D) an annual telethon benefiting the Muscular Dystophy Association</p>

<p>The correct answer is D, but I don’t understand why the answer isn’t B. Why isn’t “Jerry Lewis remained in the public eye by hosting both a variety show and an annual telethon with benefits to the Muscular Dystrophy Association” grammatically correct? THANK YOU.</p>

<p>“With benefits” is awkward. “Benefiting” is a concise way of getting the same point across.</p>
