IMO E

Parallelism Check:
The school Principal earned immense respect and recognition for,
# first, creating new methods of knowledge dissemination that prompted students to learn and employ creative ways of handling challenges, and
# secondly, to teach students the nobility of service through his own example.

Above the two things for which principal earned respect & recognition - Creating methods......& teaching students .........is not parallel as highlighted in above analysis.
If you start enumerating your point with "first", the next ordinal should be "second" . & if with "firstly" then "secondly"



A. secondly, to teach students the nobility of service - Incorrect - for "Creating" & "to teach"is not parallel, secondly goes well with "firstly"

B. secondly, teaching students the nobility of service Incorrect - secondly goes well with "firstly"

C. secondarily, for teaching students the nobility of service Incorrect - "Secondarily" goes well with "primarily" which in present sentence not makes sense.

D. second, for teaching students the nobility of service Incorrect - For - "Creating" & "for teaching" - second for is unnecessary.

E. second, teaching students the nobility of service - Correct- For "Creating" & " teaching" perfectly parallel.
