The defending attorney weakened the prosecution’s arguments so much that, at the end of the trial, the jury doubted that the victim had even existed.


(A) doubted that the victim had even existed

(B) doubts that the victim has even existed

(C) was in doubt as to the existence of the victim

(D) was doubtful concerning the victim’s existence

(E) had doubts about the victim’s even existing

MANHATTAN REVIEW OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:



This question involves parallel structure. The attorney weakened something and the jury doubted something. A has this structure. B uses the wrong tense. C is too wordy. D and E are not parallel. Choice A can be the only possible answer.
