Re: People have been quick to either condemn or praise the use [#permalink]
I'm guessing A.

It states people "either condemn or praise" so i feel the "some saying" and "while some others" points this distinction out.

Please give OA. Curious. Thanks.

I will go with A.
Because in B the sentence "some saying that it was one of the darkest events of the 20th century, but admitting that it was an inevitable act" is pointing to same group of people. If there was "others" after "but", the sentence would have separated the 2 groups.

C and D can be ruled out because of NOT being parallel.
E can also be ruled out for not being idiomatic (it should be "either quick to condemn or to praise") also there is no separation between 2 groups

I will go with A here.

There are two groups : one group condemning ; one group praising. B seems to suggest that there was only one group.

The OA is indeed A for the very reasons many have pointed out
