Why relative pronoun is not repeated here?
I thought the right option should be : which measures two feet from the top of its head to the tip of its tail, which has a wingspan of more than a foot and a half, and which weighs
That's why I crossed out option E.
Experts your input is required.
In Manhattan Book Page : 91 , . Parallelism Question No. 12. We have relative pronoun repeated.[/quote]
Hello
AbhishekDhanraJ72,
We hope this finds you well.
To answer your query, if all the elements in a list take the same relative pronoun or preposition, it does not need to be repeated throughout the list; one use of the preposition or relative pronoun at the beginning of the sentence can be held common for the entire list.
We hope this helps.
All the best!

Take example : I want to retire to place, where I can relax and I pay low taxes. Then is it a right sentence ?[/quote]
Hello
AbhishekDhanraJ72,
We hope this finds you well.
To answer your query, the sentence you have put forth is, indeed, correct; the single "where" used in this sentence applies to both clauses "I can relax" and "I pay low taxes".
We hope this helps.
All the best!

However it is said to be wrong in Manhattan Sentence Correction book.
They explained that The right answer should contain where twice. Thats is :
I want to retire to place, where I can relax and where I pay low taxes.
Even i think where shouldn't be repeated here. Then I can't think of examples in which "where" is needed to be repeated. Can you please give some examples in which "where" need and need not to be repeated? It will be a big help.
