Einstein

After moving to Switzerland in the 1890's, Albert Einstein attended the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich, receiving in-depth training in quantitative analysis and developing a foundation for his future work in mathematical physics.

Hey gmatblood and mir.yahya -- we actually think it's A.

The parallel construction thing is correct but you've mixed up which two parts must be parallel!

IMO : B

IMO A.

B - parallelism btn ATTENDED and DEVELOPED implies 2 ideas - (1) Albert attended school and (2) Albert developed concept are not interdependent. This is different from the original sentence intends to desctibe. A intends to say that Albert developed concept as a result of attending Swiss school.

This is same as :

a) I found very busy trafic today and reached office late ==> same as option B
b)I found very busy trafic today, reaching office late ==> same as option A

I think it's A because of parallelism.

NO EXCUSES

"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."
