A) citizens from both the host and from the diplomat's countries to be seated across from each other.

from BOTH X and Y

not from BOTH X and from Y

B) citizens of the host country and of the diplomat's party to sit opposite each other.

each other is used for 2 person


C) that the host country and diplomat's country seat their citizens opposite one another.

Country can not seat citizens

D) that citizens of the host's country be seated opposite those of the diplomat's country

Subjunctive verb form is correctly used

E) the host country's citizens to be seated opposite to the diplomat's country's citizens.

Logitech, D is the subjunctive form and should be the answer
but D has "Of + X's " as in "of the host's country " and "of the diplomat's country " which should be avoided as per MGMAT

what say ?

If it were written as "citizen's of the host's country's" , it would be wrong

Here HOST's COUNTRY rather than HOST is modified so MGMAT is still in Business

[conomav]

A - parallelism issue with both usage.
E- "to be seated" is wrong usage...sh'd be "be seated"

B. I'm not sure if the "each other" rule applies here.
Is it not comparing 2 groups ie -> citizens of host country to citizens of visting country?
on the other hand B is wrong as it compares citizens of host country with citizens of party .


C: country cant seat the citizens.
D is correct.
