The Irish playwright John Synge wanted to see Ireland free both of England and from her own parochialism.

both of England and her own parochialism
both of England and of her own parochialism
of both England and her own parochialism as well
of England and from her own parochialism as well

ukr.net, are you sure that OA is C? I am not convinced. I think that"Ireland free both" does not make sense. It has to be "Ireland free of..." which leaves D and E and definitely D is parallel and makes sense.

Experts, please advise...

Thanks

'Free both of' is not problematic. Yes normally it would be "free of", but when there are two things to be freed of, and you want to use the word 'both' it is to be placed between free and of. It's the same with any alike expression, i.e.:

'appreciative of X'

add both

'appreciative both of X and Y'

It has to be 'free both of X and Y'.

From there, C can be the only choice because it is the only one that is parallel in all the answer choices (a big hint, and unusual on the GMAT, usually they try to leave it so that two answers look the same). It is 'of England' and 'of her parochialism', answer choice C.

To my view, C should be the answer
