Parallelism need help.

by Chitturi » Tue Dec 18, 2012 11:05 am
Dear all,

Bollywood, India's film making industry based in Mumbai has moved away from recreating traditional films and draws on the experience of modern day people, both those living in India and who live overseas.

1. both those who live in India and who live overseas
2. both those who live in India and those who live in overseas.

Why was the 1st option wrong and second option is correct.

My thought is "common elements needs may or may not ( Those in the sentence ) be replaced" , hence those need not be repeated.

Please guide and help me to understand the topic in a better way.

Regards

Ratnakar Chitturi.

As far as I know, in parallelism, anything that follows both should be matched with the other half of the parallel structure. Same is the case with either- or structures.
