Hi,

Doesn't D break parallelism here? "to the refineries of North American" AND "to the world"

The presence of "to" in the second part makes it unparallelled? first part talks about refineries second part talks about countries.

If there's no "to" then it makes sense. Refineries of North America and the world. OR "to that of the world."

Actually this is a ellipsis question i.e in the latter part of the sentence it means to [the refineries] of the world.......part in green is the hidden part of the sentence which is not necessary to be repeated again in GMAT if the same has been mentioned in the first part of the sentence.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
