I also selected C, but the OA is D. I couldn't able to figure out how latter is better than former.singhag wrote:IMO it is C it has idiom except X and Y where X and Y are parallel
Explanation in Kaplan is not very convincing.

I chose C too... now looking back maybe D is better? haha
only diff between C and D is the order of the clauses, and one uses "history class and biology class" whereas the other uses "class in history and class in biology". In terms of succinctiveness, maybe history class is preferred to class in history? that's the only explanation I can come up with.

While I selected C because I thought C is more concise as it avoids using 'class' again.

hehe, now thinking back, I never used the sentence "I have a class in bio" or "I have a class in gym". You could be referring to the class, OR you could be referring to the classroom... so "bio class" is more clear in terms of meanings. man, this is a tough one

You have a point "Bio class" is correct in this context. Thanks.capnx wrote:hehe, now thinking back, I never used the sentence "I have a class in bio" or "I have a class in gym".
