- The use of the conjunction 'and' indicates a list. Eliminate (A), (B), and (C) as they change the meaning of the sentence. Moreover, the use of pronouns 'that' and 'it' is ambiguous: do the pronouns refer to the festival or the large parade?
- Eliminate (D) due to redundancy (seen and watch) and ambiguity in the use of the pronoun 'it'.
- Correct choice is (E) as the sentence is grammatically correct, is not ambiguous in meaning, and is concise ('that' clearly refers to 'large parade').
