hey
I got my GMAT exam in 4 hours!!
ANyway, since we have "exercise(present tense)", we need to have "associate". c/d/e.
From here, you need to know this
From here, "IF PRESENT" -> WIll xxx or PRESENT.
Eliminate c/d
E wins!!

I get that the answer is E, but I wanted clarity on a certain aspect of the parallelism. In choice E, calves exercise and associate ......... has to be made parallel to those raised ........Shawshank wrote:Strange.. am confused between C and E..kauldheeraj wrote:Can somebody please respond with the answer with explanation for following SC?

The question I have is - can parallelism be across tenses? exercise and associate - simple present; raised - simple past. I think we can ........ Any thougts?
Thanks

Hence, C
Quicker, in your explanation, is in fact incorrect because you cannot modify a verb phrase "gain weight" with an adjective "quicker"; An adverb is required to modify a verb phrase such as "quickly"

(A) Phrase "exercise and associated" are wrong tense combination
(B) Phrase "exercise and associated" are wrong tense combination
(C) The phrase "They required" used wrongly as past tense in combination with the future tense with phrase "will gain"
(D) The phrase "have required and will gain" wrong tense combination
(E) perfect tensing; correct answer. Hence (e).
