It is as difficult to prevent crimes against property as those that are against a person.
(A) those that are against a
(B) those against a
(C) it is against a
(D) preventing those against a
(E) it is to prevent those against a

Is there any hard & fast rule to identify ellipsis?

IMO E.

Wrong parallelism - A, B and D are out.

C - too short.
I'm not sure about the rule. But I normally plugin the ellipsis word and see if it makes sense.

OA pls
What we think, we become
