Hi all
Lately while practicing questions from OG, I observed that in some question related to parallelism the connector "And" is sometimes used as ", and" and sometimes it is used simply as "And". This has created confusion in my mind over the use of connector "And" if anyone can clarify this doubt, please comment.
Thanks
Gagan

Hello
Thank you for helping me up, also I have noted that when multiple parallel list be present (Like a parallel list inside a parralel list of more than three elements) ";" is used. Am I correct with this observation?
For reference Q 233 of the VR 2019.
Thanks
