Between A n B i wud go for A as A is concise and also it uses the conditional would instead of will ..
I may b wrong ..so plz provide the OA ...but i am sure the answers either gotta be A or B .

B is out for the very reason u hv stated for its win lol ...parallelism ...in B both of X n also of Y is not parallel

I also placed my bets on A thinking on the same lines as u did.
But the OA is B.

Here the answer given is A.
There is no need for any embarrassment. I myself got all these questions wrong and couldnt find a suitable reason why the OA is correct.
Btw, I dont have any solid conviction that the OA's right.
Its from a list of 70 Brutal SC's.

Here the OA is B.
Except for this question, we had the same responses :-o
Here I chose E by eliminating A-D.
C: You cant say "the no of males...is as many as " It should be "same as"
What say ?
Baaplog....help us out in these questions....
'Like' is used when u compare two nouns. 'As' is used when u say that one noun is essentially the same as the other!
In this question, what Schubert did was something 'similar' to what Haydn did; you are comparing two people here. Hence, the statement should start with 'Like'. Eliminate C, D, E. The "also" in B is unnecessary as it doesn't add any additional meaning to the sentence. Hence eliminate B. A Wins!
vikram_1982 SaysB wins! None of the other options are parallel.

I'm glad I got this tuff one rite..:) it doesn't happen that often u see.. lol
let me throw in my 2 cents here..
B. The antecedent of 'it' gets too confusing as there are many 'its'
C. Same as B
D. 'you' refers nobody.Awkward contruction.
E. Option E sounds correct until 'the surface, apply primer to the surface'.But the 'and then paint it' part makes the construction little wordy and awkward.
So A is the winner
