B is better in structure, although both are grammatically correct in terms of parallelism

yup B is better because if u see in B then in B "than" is being used which is basically used for comparison.......in B "I is being compared to anyone"

Both are absolutely fine grammatically.

And if you are wondering what if you get both these as potential answer choices on the exam, relax!! That's not going to happen.

Thanks Ashish.

What if we add "in the class" at the end i.e

1. I contributed more to the party than did anyone else in the class.
2. .....................................anyone else did in the class.

Are they both still grammatically acceptable?

Thanks

Yes, but a better way perhaps would be:

In the class, I contributed more to the party than did anyone else.

i don't think these are both grammatically correct. the first two are fine *if* you don't add anything to the end. once you add "in the class" to the end of the sentence(s), you shouldn't split up "anyone else" and "in the class."

thus, "i contributed more to the party than anyone else did in the class" is ambiguous: it can either mean that you contributed more to the party than did anyone else in the class, or it can mean that you contributed more to the party *while sitting in the classroom* than did anyone else *while sitting in the classroom*. also, because "in the class" is attached to "did" without a comma, it infers that the latter is the preferred explanation.
