Ok...What is the OA? Please share.

And someone please explain this question. Experts please help us out here.

Thanks.

option C seems quite plausible. Any Experts?

The legislature seems [to talk ...blah blah blah...but to do ...blah blah blah blah...]

The legislature seems [to talk ...blah blah blah...but doing ...blah blah blah blah...]

In the above two sentences, the second construction has issues with parallelism. Eliminate D and E.

B is a nonsensical construction ending the sentence awkwardly with "achieving such". Achieiving such what?

A has a major reference issue. The option uses 'that' to refer to "reform", whereas we should refer this singular noun with 'it'.

C corrects all the mistakes discussed above and is hence the right choice.
