In the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians, the refusal of each side to acknowledge each other as a legitimate national movement is closer to the heart of the problem than is any other issue.


(A) the refusal of each side to acknowledge each other as a legitimate national movement is closer to the heart of the problem than

(B) that the refusal of each side to acknowledge another as a legitimate national movement is closer to the heart of the problem as

(C) the refusal of each side to acknowledge another as a legitimate national movement is closer to the heart of the problem than

(D) that the refusal of each side to acknowledge another as a legitimate national movement is closer to the heart of the problem than

(E) the refusal of each side to acknowledge each other as a legitimate national movement is closer to the heart of the problem as

KAPLAN OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:



Scanning for differences among the choices, you can see that (A) and (E) contain acknowledge each other while the others use acknowledge another. Another in this instance is incorrect because it is unclear: Does it refer to a third party that neither acknowledges? If it does refer to the other national movement, then it uses the wrong idiom; the other or each other are the only viable options. Eliminate (В), (C), and (D). Choice (E) misuses the idiom closer...than by altering it to closer...as. The original sentence, (A), presents the best option.

Correct me if I am wrong , but if we use ' each other ' in this context, doesn't it mean that the countries refuse to acknowledge themselves as well as the other party as a nation state ? . This is why I chose option C
