答案 C
解析 Logical predication; Parallelism
This sentence explains the two-part strategy an unnamed country agreed to pursue in order to stabilize its economy. Nominalization {the enforcement of...) and an incorrect form of comparison (as that which was...) in the account of the first strategy causes excessive wordiness and indirection and makes the account of the first strategy nonparallel with the account of the second strategy. To reduce wordiness and achieve parallelism, both strategies pledged by the country should be presented in infinitive form (to enforce... and to keep...). The sentence also needs to employ the correct comparative form greater discipline than. . . .
A The two strategies (the enforcement of and keeping) are not presented in parallel form; the nominalized presentation of the first strategy is wordy and indirect, and the comparative form is incorrect.
B The two strategies (the enforcement of and keeping) are not presented in parallel form.
C Correct. The comparative form is correct, and the two strategies are presented in parallel form, as infinitives completing the verb pledged.
D The two strategies are not presented in parallel form, and the comparative form is unnecessarily wordy.
E The comparative form is incorrect and wordy.
The correct answer is C.
