Adam broke with Eve in a bitter dispute over the nature of Stalinism.

(A) in a bitter dispute over
(B) over bitterly disputing
(C) after there was a bitter dispute over
(D) after having bitterly disputed about
(E) over a bitter dispute about

OA A

I am always getting stuck with two options in which one is wordier than the other... :(

This is an IDIOM specific question.

Break over....There is nothing wrong with the given sentence.

Adam with Eve in a bitter dispute...correct usage

some examples: US is in talk with UN or US is in a bitter dispute with Iran or North Korea. These show correct usage of Idioms.


Adam broke with Eve in a bitter dispute over the nature of Stalinism.
here Broke over > correctly pointing to the nature of Stalinism

there is a close call b/n A and C
now i have read sme where that s/c construction using " there is " is wrong in GMAT
moreover C is wordier than A
hence ITS A
