my doubt 1 : i always believe that the dashes are used to put some information as an aside .but is it that if in a dash we have a construction such "DASH + and XYZ " then do we need to have parallelism across "and" even though that "and" is included in a "dash" . Also is it OK to include verb "included" in between "dashes" as is done in A?
my doubt 2 : honestly i am not very comfortable with the fact that "past perfect" is a requirement in this question .for instance i feel that following construction would have been equally OK : Ending a contentious political stalemate that frightened global business leaders, the new Italian Prime Minister, Enrico Letta, finally formed a rare coalition government to unite liberals and conservatives.....
thanks and regards
