Please explain the difference between option B and option D. Why is option D correct?? Hello PrabhaMithila, The correct idiom is ‘hailed as X’ and not ‘hailed X’. This is incorrect in options B and E. Secondly, the presence of vacant streets and dilapidated buildings supports the fact that Bannack is a ghost town – so the phrase ‘streets vacant...” must be a modifier, modifying the entire preceding clause. Therefore, it is inappropriate to separate the two phrases with ‘and’. This is incorrect in options A, B and C. Option E is a sentence fragment with no main verb.

In option B you have has been and has as parallel structures which is incorrect. You can't put "has been hailed" and "has something" in parallel clauses. In option D this problem is resolved. Hope it helps! Good luck with the GMAT!   ------------------------------------------------- Kudos are more than welcome!
