Explanation:
The original sentence is not parallel because it has two verbs in different forms after the conjunction "and": "losing" (a gerund) and "felt" (a past tense verb). To make it parallel, we need to make both verbs the same form.
Option A is incorrect for the reason mentioned above.
Option B is the correct answer because it fixes the parallelism error by changing "losing" to "lost," making both verbs past tense.
Option C is incorrect because it repeats the same error as in the original sentence.
Option D is incorrect because it changes the first verb to past tense but does not change the second verb to the present participle form.
Option E is incorrect because it creates a new error by adding a subject ("she") before the second verb, making it a separate clause instead of a parallel element in a list.

I have doubt about the sentence structure here.
Why there is a comma before the and?
“,and felt unhappy with her job.” - Is this a independent clause? If yes then how? If no why the comma is there?
Can someone please explain
