Q. The Forbidden City in Beijing, from which the emperors ruled by heavenly mandate, was a site which a commoner or foreigner could not enter without any permission, on pain of death.
(A) which a commoner or foreigner could not enter without any permission,
(B) which a commoner or foreigner could enter without any permission only
(C) which no commoner or foreigner could enter without permission,
(D) which, without permission, neither commoner or foreigner could only enter,
(E) which, to enter without permission, neither commoner or foreigner could do,

OA is [spoiler](C)[/spoiler]. Why not [spoiler](B)[/spoiler]?

Thanks,
Rohit.

IMO C

Between B and C, C adheres to parallelism.

B changes the meaning. Original sentence means no one can enter the site without permission, while option B means anyone can enter without permission.

Got the answer.C it is.But a lilttle confused by the sentence itself,especially the phrase "on pain of death."
The sentence generally means that nobody is allowed to enter the forbidden city without permission..what is pain of death doing in there (except confusing us :P )??

I was stuck between A and C. What's wrong with A?
