SC876. Too old to bear arms himself, Frederick Douglass served as a recruiting agent, traveled through the North to exhort Black men to join the Union army.
(A) traveled through the North to exhort
(B) and he traveled through the North and exhorted
(C) and traveling through the North exhorted
(D) traveling through the North and exhorted
(E) traveling through the North and exhorting

I chose A. Why the answer is E? Explanation please....

Ok the first impression is that theres nothing wrong with A, atleast grammatically!!!

But try to get the sense of the question,
Frederick Douglass served as a recruiting agent...now describe his job as a recruiting agent, what he did as a recruiting agent..

E fits in better

Frederich question

by Arabian Baba » Wed Jun 25, 2008 9:16 pm
I agree with Reachac....

Answer is E.

This is those parallelism questions where you should be careful that you don't fall into the trap of Superficial Parallellism. This is similar to the example given in Manhattan pg. 79.
