Hello guys!

Option C vs Option D,

Option D is slightly wordy, and the placement of 'August 1929' distorts the sentence formation and meaning.

Option C is much better than D, does not distort the meaning and refrains from any other errors.

IMO,
Option C

Thanks!

How is option C preferable over option D? I see that the verb constructions and tenses are identical. Also, for me D is easier to follow with the removal of "and".

No, I think the solution lies with the opening modifier ‘ during the 1920s’. It raises question that what happened during 1920s. Obviously, the market didn’t decline during 1920s; it did, clearly mentioned, in 1929. Thus we are left with just one action- that the market underwent extension during the 20s. This reasoning sets things right.

Can you explain how we have to check parallelism here and after and (thereby... ) should we consider this while checking the parallelism as you mentioned in your lectures or can we ignore and check parallelism for underwent and reached ?

Also I'm unable to understand 2nd and is parallel to which element.
Please help me with this.
Thank you.
