I have seen this pattern is followed in GMAT questions. That's why I wanted to know about it in detail.

Hello experts,
A prompt question about answer choice B , I was wondering how is the proper way of doing the test of replacing the "did" , to see if the sentence makes sense.
"While others did not respond" OR "while others responded not" so the correct way of conducting the test is by replacing did with the verb or by putting it next to did ?

Hello again, UNSTOPPABLE12. Of the two choices you listed, unless you are speaking or writing in a stylistic manner for some purpose (perhaps imitating Yoda-speak), there would be no context in which you would use the latter construct. If you work around did in choice (B), you get the following:
Even within the same study, people responded quite differently to acupuncture, with some showing increased flexibility, while others did not show increased flexibility.
You cannot eliminate did and retain the negation of the sentence within the while construct, unless you changed the sentence a bit: while others showed no such increase (or something similar). Otherwise, you could replace did in the following manner:
... with some showing increased flexibility, with others not [showing increased flexibility].
English is atypical among world languages in its adoption of a separate verb, to do, to negate an original action. It does not really make sense to do so, but that is what history has passed down to us.
