llelism error

2)Martin Luther King Jr., the most famous leader of the American civil rights movement, won the Nobel Peace Prize and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The two prizes ("Nobel Peace Prize" and "Presidential Medal of Freedom") are in correct parallel format

3)Martin Luther King Jr., the most famous leader of the American civil rights movement, won the Nobel Peace Prize and he won the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
he is redundant here

4)Martin Luther King Jr. was the most famous leader of the American civil rights movement, the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, and he won the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

The items in a list require parallelism.
LIST

imo b

[deepakteja1988]

What if someone doesnt know that they are two different items in the list. Say "the Presidential Medal of Freedom" is modifying the noun "the Nobel Peace Prize"...which makes A look right...

Can someone explain any other reason for why A is wrong if I assume as above.

[amit2k9]

the modifier ..MLK,was the most... should be close to the noun it is modifying.
then comes the concept of the list and parallelism.

A misses this hence POE.

B is clear and clean.
