Hmm, I don't think so. I'm actually trying to figure out the correct answer to this question (as shown in the image below). I noticed a lot of people choosing 'more we do' while many others are picking 'more we are', so I wanted to ask the Codeforces community since I think you guys could help me out with this

If you think this is a trash post, Im really sorry. I know cf is a cp platform, but Im genuinely stuck on this grammar point and could really use some help from the sharp minds here

Thanks!

Oh, Thanks, Im also planning to study apcs. I hope I'll pass :3

and i think c is correct answer (than we are)

I agree that B is definitely correct.

To give a similar example that perhaps better illustrates the mechanic, consider the sentence "I like to do Codeforces, AtCoder, and to do ICPC." This clearly violates parallelism (it is both objectively incorrect and sounds wrong), as "AtCoder" is a noun and "to do ICPC" is an infinitive verb. Either "I like to do Codeforces, to do AtCoder, and to do ICPC" or "I like to do Codeforces, AtCoder, and ICPC" would be proper sentences, as the former is of the form "I like {infinitive, infinitive, infinitive}" and the latter is of the form "I like to do {noun, noun, noun}," both of which satisfy parallelism (the latter is more natural in my opinion since it's more concise, but both are fine).

The example in the blog uses the particle "than," which similarly mandates parallelism. The sentence "my son is expecting the holiday much more than we do" is of the form "my son {present progressive verb} much more than {present indicative verb}," which is incorrect. The sentences "my son is expecting the holiday much more than we are" or "my son expects the holiday much more than we do" are both correct, as the former uses only present progressive verbs, and the latter uses only present indicative verbs.
