IMO B for maintaining parallelism, E is tempting but it violates parallelism.
Thanks & Regards,

You can (and should) use "between" with three or more items when the sense relates to multiple 1-to-1 relationships (sand between her toes when she likely has more than two toes). Parallelism is the way to solve this one.

Hello Jim,

I'm sorry but i still not understand the use of "Between" u mentioned in your above post...If you elaborate it more...that would be really helpful...

furthermore, you said that, the parallelism is the way to solve this question...means we cannot reject any answer choice on the basis of the use of BETWEEN and AMONG...please elaborate this point...

Regards

I'm not sure how else to say it . . . there are plenty of correct uses of between with three or more things in a list. Here's a decent list of options: https://gmat-grammar.blocked/2008/0 ... tween.html

As for the parallelism, only choice B has explaining, revealing, and promoting. Choice C interrupts the parallelism in the list with when, and no other answer gives all three in -ing form.
