The nation's three military academies have seen a

dramatic rise in applications, one fueled by a resur-

gence of patriotism, increasing tuition costs at

private colleges, and improved recruiting by the

academies.



(A) one fueled by a resurgence of patriotism,

increasing tuition costs at private colleges,

and improved recruiting by the academies.

costs that have increased at private colleges,

and academies improving their recruiting

A) a resurgence, increasing tuition costs and improved recruiting all parallel. 'one' referring to 'rise in applications' . correct
B, C , D and E do not follow parallelism

so A

whats the OA?

[ranji]

experts..please do correct me in case of any wrong analysis! I dont want to go down the wrong path:-)

According to me, this is a case of parallel acttions and I will prefer to go for E. What do u think guys?

The answer is A, but this one is tricky if you're looking for parallelism, because none of the answers seem to be completely parallel. A is actually the parallel answer. In order to get this, you have to recognize that in the phrase 'increasing tuition costs', "increasing" is not a present tense verb, but a adjective describing costs.
