If I guess between D and E, I would go with E for concision. Can someone explain difference in meaning between D and E?

(D)

D) a large praetorian bureaucracy filled with ambitious and often sycophantic people makes work and makes trouble --> Correct. subject-verb agreement & parallelism

Request you not to write your queries/answers/opinions in question window. It prevents ppl from analysing the question. The whole purpose of GMAT Club forum goes wasted by doing so.


You have response windows to do all such things.

Not parallelism, but the stress is over contrasting terms work & trouble.

I select D too.

I think "makes A and B" is more concise than "makes A and makes B"

I went with D too because it is more clear. It is a confusing question.
