C is given as the answer choice but is it not a run-on sentence?

I would go for C.............

A is wrong because correct idiom is between X & Y.
B,D and E are wrong because if you see "among opponents" with "opponent"means that it was already split between opponents and then who are other opponents................

B is out as it has 'among' which is not correct for dealing with two components.'Among' should be used in case we have more than two components.

Between X(proponents) and Y(opponents) is the proper usage.So A and E,having the 'and' missing, are out.

The inclusion of 'and with' in D makes it sound awkward.

Option C takes care of these problems in the best possible way.

simplifying this sentence we have the following-


Opinion ....was split between proponents (then modifier)AND opponents (then modifier)

that is why C is ok

But "was split" is not mentioned in choice. Only "split" is mentioned.

Please tell experts that whether

"opinion split between proponents and opponents" is a right sentence?

Hi,
Yes, this indeed is a right sentence. "split" when used as verb, has the same form in past and participle forms, like cut.

Let's take a few examples here:

1. I cut the apple and then eat it. (Simple Present)

2. I cut the apple and then ate it. (Simple Present)

3. I had cut the apple before eating it. (Past Perfect)

Similarly, we make sentences with "split" as verb.

4. The ball splits into two after crashing on the ground. (Simple Present)

5. The ball split into two after crashing on the ground. (Simple past)

6. The ball had split into two before they noticed it. (Past Perfect)

When "split" is used as an adjective or a noun, then it can be preceded by "was" or other helping verbs such as is/are/was/were.

In choices A, B and D of the original sentence, "split" is an adjective and hence is preceded by "was". "was" is the verb for the subject "Opinion".

In choices C and E, "split" has been used as verb in its past tense form. "split" is the verb for the subject "Opinion". Hence "Opinion split between proponents and opponents." is correct.

Hope this helps.
Shraddha

I solved this one by splitting the answer choices according to incorrect IDIOM usage:

First, notice that between X and Y idiom is used; therefore, A, D and E are out
Second, among is used for more than 3 subjects. The correct idiom is 'between'; therefore, discard B

In the end we are left with C

C is the correct answer
