Pablo Picassio's genius

Pablo Picassio's genius is only fully revealed when one considers the various facets of his work as they developed through many artistic phases, beginning with his Red period, continuing through his blue period, and finishing with his period of Cubism.

A. period, continuing through his blue period, and finishing with his period of Cubism
B. period, continuing through his blue period, and finishing with his Cubist period
C. period, continuing through his blue period, and his Cubist period
D. period phase, his blue period phase, and his phase of cubism.
E. period, his blue period, and his period of cubism.

Why is Option B the correct answer? Need help please

Experts, option C is not correct only because it doesn't have the word "finishing"?

Hey lheiannie07 and Vincen,

Anytime we see a partially underlined list, we should jump to parallelism right away. Let's look at the grammatical structure of the original sentence:
  • beginning with his Red period
  • continuing through his blue period
  • finishing with his period of Cubism
We see that the structure is almost the same between the three list items (-ing verb, preposition, "his", descriptor, "period") but that the third item switches our order up just a bit - if it said "Cubist period" instead, it would match the structure of the other two. This is exactly what B does, so B is correct.

C specifically is wrong because it does the third list item does not include the -ing verb or the preposition used in the other two list items, breaking the parallelism:
  • beginning with his Red period
  • continuing through his blue period
  • his Cubist period
Let me know if you'd like answer choices D and E explained as well!
