A. the lacklustre economy, the yawning budget deficit, the Federal Reserve being accommodative — all these and more have people rushing for gold.
here "Federal Reserve" is not parallel to "lacklusture and yawning"
B. the lacklustre nature of the economy, the yawning of the budget deficit, the accommodative Federal Reserve — all these and more has people rushing for gold.
the lacklusture nature of..., the yawning of..., the accomodative .... are not parallel.
C. the lacklustre economy, the yawning budget deficit, the accommodative Federal Reserve — all this and more has people rushing for gold.
All the phrases are parallel, but verb "has" and "this" are incorrect. there should be "these" and "have"
D. the lacklustre economy, the budget deficit yawn, the accommodative Federal Reserve — all these and more had people rushing for gold.
No parallelism. Also the verb form "had" is incorrect.
E. the lacklustre economy, the yawning budget deficit, the accommodative Federal Reserve — all these and more have people rushing for gold.


Clearly, in E there is parallelism in all the phrases.
Also the verb "have" is in correct form
and
"these" is correctly referring to the list.

hey what is the source of this question. On GMAT, if you have a list, there *MUST* be and before the final element. NO EXCEPTIONS! None of these list seem to have an "AND" before the last element!

Good observation. :)
I think "and" is not there because the list is not complete. Look after dash, "all these and more" suggests that the list does not end there.
Your thoughts?

:-D
