Hi Ankitaverma,

This SC includes a "list" of items, which means that we need to follow "parallelism" rules. Every item in the list must have the same "format", otherwise the sentence is incorrect.

You should notice the phrase "______ in ______" throughout the list; we need ALL of the items in the list to follow THAT format.

Only the correct answer E does that.
