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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.
IMO: B
As much as
