Roy Wilkins was among the last of a generation of civil rights activists who led the nation through decades of change so profound many young Americans are not able to imagine, even less to remember, what segregation was like.
(A) so profound many young Americans are not able to imagine, even less to remember
(B) so profound that many young Americans cannot imagine, much less remember
(C) so profound many young Americans cannot imagine nor even less remember
(D) of such profundity many young Americans cannot imagine, even less can they remember
(E) of such profundity that many young Americans are not able to imagine, much less to remember

OA-B(I was able to land up with correct answer but unfortunately I was not able to distinguish clearly between “profound” and profundity)

E is having following issue:

When it say much less to remember it is making two parallel sentences which are incorrect....

Here, we can eliminate choices A, C, and D since the word 'that' isn't included in these phrases. In choices B and E, choice E isn't parallel, is awkward, and extremely lengthy. This leaves us with choice B.
Have you wondered how you could have found such a treasure? -T

Can you please explain in a bit more detail how parallelism is broken in "E".

Hmm, in retrospect, E is a bit more parallel. But it still is awkward and wordy.

If you combine option E the sentence will look like:
Roy Wilkins was among the last of a generation of civil rights activists who led the nation through decades of change of such profundity that many young Americans are not able to imagine, much less to remember, what segregation was like.

Here much less to remember what? what segregation was like, nope, much less to remember requires some purpose which is missing. Here it can not modify the following clause "what segregation was like" because "much less to remember" is commas separated and so is an intervenning clause and should be sufficient in itself.

"E" is awkward because it has are not able to imagine, whereas, in "B", it simply uses cannot imagine. "E" has much less to remember, the "to" in there should be omitted, like it is in "B".

", much less remember" is the only correct usage. My answer: B
