10. which choice is an example of an incorrect or illogical comparison? a. katie insists that an office job would be less interesting than an outdoor job. b. uncle pete likes his new job more than his old job. c. adults without a high school diploma might have a more difficult time finding an office job than other adults. d. my sister has had more summer jobs than anyone in our family

C. Adults without a high school diploma might have a more difficult time finding an office job than other adults.

This is an example of an incorrect or illogical comparison. The author is comparing adults without a high school diploma to other adults. However, who the other adults are is not clear. Do the other adults have a high school diploma? GED? Associates degree? Bachelors degree? Masters degree? Doctorate? This breaks the rule of you can't compare something of a specific type to all things of that type.

An illogical comparison happens when a sentence compares two things that aren't of the same type, for example comparing people with objects, which is the case on this question.

The options from A,B, and C, compare things from the same type, in A the comparison is between jobs, in B the comparison is between jobs as well, and in C the comparison is between people.

The only illogical comparison is comparing people with jobs, as done in option D.

So, the answer to this question is:

D. My sister has had more summer jobs than anyone in our family.
