Physicists, using extremely sophisticated instruments, have documented that the component particles of atoms—protons, neutrons, and electrons—comprise many smaller units called hadrons that are themselves composed of quarks, particles whose radii are 2,000 times smaller than a proton.

Can someone comment about this portion of B?
Doesn't the GMAT require comparisons to be parallel in tense? In the OA, "whose radii are 2,000 times smaller than that of a proton" is not parallel because radii is plural and "proton" is singular. Shouldn't this have been phrased as "whose radii are 2,000 times smaller than the radius of a proton" to preserve parallelism?

Hi,
How can the sentence be "...particles whose radii are smaller than that of a proton"? If radii are plural, shouldn't the construction be.. particles whose radii are smaller than those of protons?
