Thanks to everyone for the good wishes Vineet: For any CRs, I never take notes. For me, it takes time to first write things down and then understand them.

I got 4 RCs. To be honest, none of them was a small one. The first 3 were almost 1.5 times the length of a "normal big" RC one would see in the gmat prep tests. the fourth one was bigger than a "normal small" RC. The first RC question I got was a boldface, question 6. After that ...

(C) is correct... if you look at the structure of the "as" clause, you have to compare one clause to another using "as", here (b) tries to compare a word (many) with an entire clause. This is incorrect.

the biggest reason in parallelism, "that" has to be parallel with the second usage of "that", another reason is the misplaced "it" at the end

are you sure about the OA? It looks like (C) to me. The second sentence depends on the first for its existence, therefore a semicolon should not be used.
