Thank you for the explanation, Jen. Could you please throw some light on answer choice as to why there is no parallelism, because, I couldn't find an error in it.Jen@Knewton wrote:The antecedent of "it" in choice C is "the sight" -- this is the only logical antecedent here, so the pronoun use is fine. There can be multiple potential grammatical antecedents for a pronoun, but if only one is logical then the usage is correct. But C still has the other issues that I mentioned above.

A. as much relief on the victor's side than it did on the vanquished.-- As mush as
B. as much relief among the victors as among the vanquished. -- my choice
C. as much relief on the victor's side as it did on the vanquished's. - Avoid apostrophes
D. relief both on the victor's side as well as on the vanquished's. - Emphasis is lost
E. relief both for the victor and the vanquished side.
The usage is "as...as", hence, I eliminated A, D, and E upon reviewing the choices. Between B and C, I considered 2 things, a) does the possessive make sense in C and b) which of the two is the most concise approach. As had been previously mentioned, it makes much more sense for a person to feel relief than for a side to feel relief; and even if C were grammatically correct, B would still be the more concise choice of the two.pzazz12 wrote: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.

Really a good question. I think in Option C ,, the use of "did" is wrong as there is no verb in the first part.

Hi vinitkhicha,
You are correct. It's a subtle addition, but the usage of the word "did" creates a parallelism problem, so answer C is incorrect.
