Hi duongthang,

A is not parallel. The second 'of' is necessary.

Construction should be '...free of one thing and free of another thing'.

For me A, C and D are out.

In E 'as well' is redundant, 'both' is enough.

I would not write a setence like B (also I don't believe that in plain english it is absolutely correct), but it results to be the less wrong.

Can you post OA?

I would go with E since it maintains parallelism for both x and Y. Though, I do adreee that there is a redundant "as well" at the end.

B doesn't maintain parallelism by omitting "of" and adding "also". Not sure if this is a valid GMAT question, source please.

All of the answers contain some redundancy - where is this question from?

OA here is E. I guess it is the most appropiate which satisfy parallelism.

A is wrong. It dissorts the meaning. It means that addicts seek to be free from other's prejudicial treatment (here other's doesn't mean addicts)

B and E are in the race to be a possible answer. But both are wrong.

B. "also" destroys the parallelism.
E. "as well" destroys the parallelism.

Can you send the 70 Brutal SC to me. Or please let me know the link to download.

thanks
Sreeram

To be frank, (E) sucks!

One should never say:

"both of A and of B as well"

since "both" and "as well" are redundant.

I'm not sure who created the "70 brutal SC", but I'm not impressed.

OA is E

I am not happy with this sentence. But I think may be we have to protect "both ... of" first.

Hello Stuart Kovinsky, pls answer me why we use "for doing " after a noun and use "to do" after a verb as you told me before

best regards

We use "to do" after a verb because the GMAT has consistently shown a preference for the infinitive form after a verb. In other words, if we have back-to-back verbs, the second will almost always be in infinitive form.

For example:

"Bob forgot to do the right thing."

We use "for doing" after a noun if it's idiomatically correct to do so. For example:

"Bob got in trouble for doing the wrong thing."
