whats the OA????????GmatKiss wrote:The duality between how Raccine lived in the theatre and his life of faith and devotion should be seen not only as an internal division but also as a possible reason that Raccine, in an age of optimism, selected tragedy as the preferred form.
1) between how Raccine lived in the theatre and his life of faith and devotionshould be seen not only as an internal division ----- parallelism not maintained
2) between Raccine's life of the theatre and his life of faith and devotion should be seen as not only an internal division ----- it should rather be not only as because latter part uses but also as
3) between theatrical life of Raccine and his faithful and devotional life should be seen not only as an internal division ---- though C is not the best choice but I will call it better than the others
4) between Raccine's life in the theatre and his life of faith and devotion should be seen not only as an internal division ---- I feel there is a parallelism issue in the things marked in red

Sorry pressed 'thank' by mistake
for idiom btw X and Y ... X, Y shall be parallel.
X is in indirect form.. Please put down your estimates regarding your efforts for C

between C and D raccines's life in the theater is better than thetrical life of raccine
in E again not only as x but also y parallelism is distorted

I vote for C.
1) between how Raccine lived in the theatre and his life of faith and devotionshould be seen not only as an internal division ----- between X and Y ---> X and Y are not parallel
2) between Raccine's life of the theatre and his life of faith and devotion should be seen as not only an internal division ----- as not only X but also as Y is not correct
3) between theatrical life of Raccine and his faithful and devotional life should be seen not only as an internal division ---- I think if we factor out the life at the end of the end of both parallel parts then there would be no problem--->between theatrical,faithful and devotional life of Raccine, his is properly referring to Raccine.
4) between Raccine's life in the theatre and his life of faith and devotion should be seen not only as an internal division ---- I think both sides of the parallel structure has no problem because the parallel parts are Raccine's life and his life and the rest are prepositional phrases, however using this kind of 's for possessive forms is a poor use of possessives and also the whole sentence is wordy, so C seems better to me
5) between Raccine's life of the theatre and his faithful and devotional life should be seen as not only an internal division ---- the same problem as 2

In A, between how Raccine lived...and his life lacks parallelism. Also, how Raccine lived in the theatre could imply that the theatre was literally Racccine's place of residence. The intended meaning of the sentence is that Raccine WORKED in the theatre. Eliminate A.
C needs to say between THE theatrical life of Raccine. Also, theatrical life could imply that Raccine's life was exaggerated and especially dramatic, one definition of theatrical. The intended meaning of the sentence is that Raccine WORKED in the theatre. Eliminate C.
The correct answer is D.
