platinum gmat SC- I think wrong

Expert replies

In 2006, contrary to the arguments of the Justice Department, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld that the military commissions established by the Federal government in March 2002 are not legal, as they are violating "both the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the four Geneva Conventions signed in 1949."
A) legal, as they are violating
B) legal; a violation of
C) legal, but rather violate
D) legal, but rather they constitute a violation of
E) legal, rather they violate

OA is C
I think the OA is wrong, as a noun (legal) and a verb (violate) cannot be logically compared.
Am I wrong?
I think its A

the site says

" The correct idiom is: not x, but rather y"

Arnt x and y supposed to be logically parallel???

I agree that A is the best answer.

I only like the use of the word 'rather' in a phrase like.....


something is NOT something, rather.....

to me the use of the word 'rather' is not appropriate in this case.

Agree.

but rather a violation would have been ok imo .None of the answer choices seem to reflect this.

Buddies, C is correct.. and I am not sure why the inclination towards A

You dont know what 'they' refers to, so A, D and E are as such out.. for all you know "they" may be referring to "military commissions"..

B is as such wrong because when you put semicolon the independent clause needs to support the previous clause.. here it is negating the decision made by the supreme court..

C is definitely correct.

I noticed the same thing tested in the Official Guide 11th edition in question 87. The Official Guide GMAT answer has the exact same logic as the Platinum GMAT logic.

In fact, the first sentence of the Platinum GMAT explanation is almost the same as that of the Official Guide. I do understand why some people are saying A, but I am voting with the Official Guide on this one.

C is correct. A says violating, which is not what is intended. violating and violate mean different things and the code violates. Not sure I am being clear, if not ask and I will explain further.
