Can someone tell me the answer alongwith the explanation. I am confused between answer choices B and C.
Thanx!
Hiii.. I think the answer is C.. Becoz B states " written in the same year of publication as" ...its not the publication year of both..but its the publication year of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"... I hope I am clear... Whereas C states rightly..

Hiiii.. 1. Here I will go for C.. See in B..as fast as is redundant..it is already taken care by rate of increase
2. C.. It is the most precise one with all redundancy removed.

Here 'majority' refers to group itself not individuals,
In Greek theology the supreme being was Esaugetu Emissee (Master of Breath), who dwelt in an upper realm in which the sky was the floor, and who had the power to give and to take away the breath of life.
in which the sky was the floor, and who had the power to give and to take
where the sky was the floor, having the power to give and to take
whose floor was the sky, and who has the power of giving and of taking
in which the sky was the floor, with the power of giving and taking
whose floor was the sky, having the power to give and take
In Greek theology the supreme being was Esaugetu Emissee (Master of Breath), who dwelt in an upper realm in which the sky was the floor, and who had the power to give and to take away the breath of life.
in which the sky was the floor, and who had the power to give and to take
where the sky was the floor, having the power to give and to take
whose floor was the sky, and who has the power of giving and of taking
in which the sky was the floor, with the power of giving and taking
whose floor was the sky, having the power to give and take
Think A itself is the correct answer . A maintains parallelism in expresiions modifying the Esaugetu Emissee (Master of Breath), starts the first expression with who ( who dwelt in the upper realm ) n also the second one with who(who had the power to give ) ..C is wrong because use of the simple present " who has " is incorrect . Also in C i think usage of whose is incorrect . Other options dont maintain parallelism .( to give and to take shud aslo b parallel ) .

rahul..did you identify the subject of "produce" ? what is it do you think "produce" is referring to? "produce" is plural. so as per your reasoning it should refer to a plural subject? do we have any plural subjects here?
"...expenditure of large sums of money produce/s...."
the subject here is expenditure which is singular..hence produces..D
