At the sight of a spider, phobic individuals may experience an extreme rush of fear, a racing heart, nausea, sweating, and then often flee with urgency.

A. sweating, and then often flee with urgency
B. sweating, and then they will often urgently flee
C. sweating, and then, often, an urge to flee
D. sweating; they often then have an urge to flee
E. sweating; this is then often accompanied by an urge to flee

OA is C

But I have a question here. the sentence is presenting the series of actions….a racing heart, nausea, sweating….shouldn't there be "and" after the last action(sweating)...

It should be C. Effects of sighting a spider causes a, b, c, d and then e

I feel this is correct usage.

@rakeshd347
There is a usage of and after sweating, but here and is used to imply "the phobic individuals experience nausea, sweating etc and an urge to flee"
You can, for example never foretell what any one man will do, but you can say with precision what an average number will be up to!

I feel the answer could also be D. vinay1983 chose C because he/she thinks this should be paralleled. But I think we could also make "individuals may experience..." and "they often then have..." as two paralleled sentences; and use a ; to separate them.

IMO C is the answer.
The last sentence does not need to be parallel with other elements because of "then".

Hi All,

The correct answer is C. As many of you pointed out, parallelism is the primary rule in this SC. The list of items must be parallel; in this case, they must all be nouns.

Furthermore, the pronoun "they" is redundant/unnecessary, so it shouldn't be there.
