I dont find a corrrect answer ! please explain what cud be the correct answer ?

[chidcguy]

We dont need a that he had.

The Q is testing parallelism and was advised is not underlined meaning all the three need to be in simple past

A is my pick

[senthil]

But in common after advise,demand ... we use 'that 'right ? BUt teh answer is not A

[sibbineni]

B is my answer

What is the OA

subjunctive can take

<subjunctive>+noun form+<to> or
<subjunctive>+that+noun form

[sulabh]

I think its B as only B is parallel.The suspected was advised..told..and interrogated....

Thanks!

[atlantic]

Clearly B is the only parallel.

[niraj_a]

i'm divided between B and E.....

[gmatinjuly]

B is my answer...

Was is in the sentence ….

So in all the clauses u don’t have to have an extra was. (ELIMINATE A/D/E)
C not parallel as it is using that with told.

The suspect…was …advised………told and interrogated.

Why is D wrong ?

[pandeyvineet24]

Between D and E, I will go with E.

All the 3 actions are not on same logical level. .. " of his right to remain silent, told he could not leave, and was interrogated in a detention room. "

Phrases "of his right to remain silent" and "told he could not leave" are on the same level and should be paralle but "was interrogated in a detention room" is on a different level so should not be parallel to the other 2.

Thanks Bidisha800 , you have clearly explained the answer.

I had picked up E,somehow was tricked with pseudo-parallelism.

This was a great question from Beatthegmat practice questions

[aspirant2011]

I would go with E.............wats the OA?

[arora007]

I would go with E.............wats the OA?

I thanked Bidisha800 because bidisha was right... the OA is B
