After arduous months of fighting

by Uva@90 » Tue Aug 12, 2014 7:52 pm
After arduous months of fighting, the sight of the white flag being raised generated as much relief on the victor's side than it did on the vanquished.

A. as much relief on the victor's side than it did on the vanquished.
B. as much relief among the victors as among the vanquished.
C. as much relief on the victor's side as it did on the vanquished's.
D. relief both on the victor's side as well as on the vanquished's.
E. relief both for the victor and the vanquished side.

OA: B

I narrowed down to B and C. But I ended up with wrong one.
Could you please explain me why C is not correct ?

Regards,
Uva

Hi Uva@90,

Since you've narrowed it down to B and C, you should look to make sure that the Parallel phrases that are offered are COMPLETE phrases. With your answer choice, what's missing?

Ya Rich,

Option C Introduces additional of "it did". if these two words are missing then option C would have been correct right ?

i.e "as much relief on the victor's side as on the vanquished's. "

A logical difference between B and C is that sides cannot feel relief(C) feel relief but people can(B)
