22. Ancient Romans found it therapeutic to bathe in cold milk, in strawberries that had been crushed, or in bathtubs filled with black caviar.
(A) to bathe in cold milk, in strawberries that had been crushed, or in bathtubs filled with black caviar
(B) that they bathe in cold milk, in strawberries that had been crushed, or in caviar that was black
(C) to bathe in cold milk, crushed strawberries, or black caviar
(D) that they bathe in cold milk, crushed strawberries, or black caviar
(E) to bathe in milk , strawberries, or caviar

OA is C, but doesn't C break the rule of parallelism?

It is not breaking any rule

Hi, can anyone show why C should be preferred over A
A seems to be grammatically correct. C does too but C leaves out some information.


As a rule is it OK to eliminate some words from the original sentence?

Thanks
Sid.
