After arduous months of fighting, the sight of the white flag being raised generated as much relief on the victor's side than it did on the vanquished.

A. as much relief on the victor's side than it did on the vanquished.
B. as much relief among the victors as among the vanquished.
C. as much relief on the victor's side as it did on the vanquished's.
D. relief both on the victor's side as well as on the vanquished's.
E. relief both for the victor and the vanquished side.

OA: B

I narrowed down to B and C. But I ended up with wrong one.
Could you please explain me why C is not correct ?

Regards,
Uva

Hi Uva@90,

Since you've narrowed it down to B and C, you should look to make sure that the Parallel phrases that are offered are COMPLETE phrases. With your answer choice, what's missing?

Ya Rich,

Option C Introduces additional of "it did". if these two words are missing then option C would have been correct right ?

i.e "as much relief on the victor's side as on the vanquished's. "

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
