conceptual doubt ---> parallelism

This part is taken from a GMAT prep question

Original Op D: CORRECT

Most of the purported health benefits of tea come from antioxidants-compounds that are also found in beta carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C and that inhibit the formation of plaque along the body's blood vessels.

Now, i modify this option and remove the THAT (in green) after AND

Most of the purported health benefits of tea come from antioxidants-compounds that are also found in beta carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C and inhibit the formation of plaque along the body's blood vessels.

Is this modified version still correct and will be read same as original Op D???? Logically the subject of verb "inhibit" should be "antioxidants-compounds" NOT "Most of the purported health benefits" so in this modified version still the sub of the verb inhibits remains the same compounds or in this case (without THAT) the verb inhibit is parallel to "come" and takes the subject "Most of the purported health benefits" NOT "compounds"?????

IMO modified version is not correct, as in the modified version, the verb "inhibit" will be parallel to "come" and take "Most of the purported health benefits" NOT "compounds" as its subject which is wrong????

Whats your opinion???

Yup I agree with you, in the modified version the subject would be "Most of the purported health benefits"

I don't find any confusion regarding the subject of "inhibits" but removing the second "that" breaks the parallelism, which we know GMAT loves. :-)

Hi Vivian,

Would be really thankful to you if you can you please put more light on the part i.e after removal of "that" before inhibits how the subject remains the same?????

Hi Vivian,

Thanks Vivian, i update my concept. I discussed this same set of question with Ron also, on some other thread he also suggest the same thing regarding subject, however regarding parallelism he has different opinion.

https://www.beatthegmat.com/in-an-attemp ... 94-15.html

Here, i discussed this same question and finally got answer from Ron, plus i discussed one more question (initially)....its a long discussion with Ron plus for the above question Ron said that even if we remove THAT (after AND) there is no violation of parallelism but its just a stylistic thing...

My main doubt was same as what @Aspirant asked in the above post...so i hope as u answer his query i also get more clarity on this concept..

Thanks and Best Regards
Atul
