Correct.
To avoid confusion, I've added this information to my earlier post.
Quote:
If the second so-clause included the helping verb, I would not eliminate the answer choice.
That said, the omitted helping verb is not needed and adds no meaning, so it is best omitted.
Quote:
Apply the following rule:
If a comma can be replaced by a period, the answer choice is wrong.
John was tired, he needed sleep.
Here, the comma can be replaced by a period:
John was tired. He needed sleep.
Since the comma can be replaced by a period, the sentence in red is invalid.
So heavy were the storm’s rains and hailstones, so relentless were its gusts of gale-force winds, that the city took nearly a decade to recover from the monumental hurricane.
Here, the two so-clauses must be connected to the following that-clause, so the two commas cannot replaced by periods.
Thus, the sentence should not be considered a run-on.

To my knowledge, no such OA exists.

Dear GMATGuruNY,
Thank you for a crystal clear explanation!
I have one last question (hope you are not tired of me yet
)
Can the 2 part be connected with a connector or a parallelism marker, such as AND, as inserted with a highlighted portion above?
I'm really not sure if the 2nd sentence has a parallelism error (one part is a clause and another is a phrase).
Thank you sir!

If these sentences were to appear as answer choices on the GMAT, I would not immediately eliminate them but would evaluate them in the context of the other answer choices.
(Note, however, that the commas in sentences 2 and 3 seem unnecessary.)
Please don't try to rewrite answer choices -- especially OAs, which are correct as written.
The goal in SC is not to rewrite answers but to eliminate incorrect answers.
In general, I will respectfully refrain from commenting on hypothetical answer choices.
