Perfect, thank you so much. AndrewN
So if in the same option the two sentences exchange their positions (as below), then it would NOT be correct. Right? Since, "which" is not referred to the first parallel entity, "employs 187,000 people directly or indirectly", now.
E. The $10.7 billion ski and snowboarding industry, employs 187,000 people directly or indirectly and which has centers in 38 states, lost, between 2000 and 2010,
I hope that proves useful to you. Thank you for thinking to ask.

AndrewN - I just have one silly question-
How in the correct option E the second parallel entity is a clause (S+V), as there is no "subject"..?
E. The $10.7 billion ski and snowboarding industry, which has centers in 38 states and employs 187,000 people directly or indirectly, lost, between 2000 and 2010,
employs 187,000 people directly or indirectly
verb = employees
subject = ??
which has centers in 38 states
verb = has
subject = which
Hello, Pankaj0901. I think you are looking to turn the relative clause into one that repeats which, as in, which A and which B. It is perfectly acceptable to allow the parallel items to be the verbs within the clause instead, which A and [which] B, without repeating the which. The two parallel items, then, are has and employs, both verbs. Typically, you will see a repetition of the clause marker if the second parallel item follows a lengthy first item or a phrase that may modify that first item. In other words, shorter clauses lend themselves to being understood without the need to repeat the clause marker.How in the correct option E the second parallel entity is a clause (S+V), as there is no "subject"..?

Well, most likely, the which would be placed ahead of employs, a change that would allow the verbs to be parallel again—i.e. which employs and [which] has. But if the verb showed up first on its own, then which ahead of the second verb would be unnecessary and incorrect. We would want to see employs... and has.So if in the same option the two sentences exchange their positions (as below), then it would NOT be correct. Right?

In short, I think you have it now.

Hey AndrewN,
Option (A) is eliminated since “with….” is not parallel to “which….”
But aren’t both modifiers of the previous entity?
I guess Option (E) the parallelism structure is better but is the structure in Option(A) a definite elimination?
