Among the important themes that characterize Chinese history are the patterns of dynastic rise and fall, intermittent aggression from northern aliens, and varying degrees of openness to outside cultural influences and the dynamics of stability and social harmony.

OA: B
OE:
A. There is no need for –and- between and varying degrees
B. Correct choice; there are two primary themes and some other additional themes as marked by ‘together with’
C. And is missing between ‘rise and fall’ and ‘intermittent aggression’
D. ‘that characterize its history’ is out of place
E. There are more than one theme. The choice talks of only one theme and not conjoined well with other themes.

We see following four lists in Qn:
P--> the patterns of dynastic rise and fall,
Q--> intermittent aggression from northern aliens,
R--> varying degrees of openness to outside cultural influences
S--> the dynamics of stability and social harmony
List P & Q are noun clauses that needs to be parallel
List R & S are adjective clauses that needs to be parallel
Now let us check each of the options:
A. Among the important themes that characterize Chinese history are the patterns of dynastic rise and fall, intermittent aggression from northern aliens, and varying degrees of openness to outside cultural influences and the dynamics of stability and social harmony
Incorrect, P,Q,R & S cannot be parallel simultaneously as they belong to different clause category.
B. Among the important themes that characterize Chinese history are the patterns of dynastic rise and fall, and intermittent aggression from northern aliens, together with varying degrees of openness to outside cultural influences and the dynamics of stability and social harmony
Correct. P is parallel to Q, [connector] R is parallel to S
C. The important themes that characterize Chinese history are the patterns of dynastic rise and fall, intermittent aggression from northern aliens, along with varying degrees of openness to outside cultural influences and the dynamics of stability and social harmony
Incorrect. Here Q follows P but is not separated by parallel marker "and". R is parallel to S.
D. Among the important themes of Chinese history are the patterns of dynastic rise and fall, intermittent aggression from northern aliens, varying degrees of openness to outside cultural influences and the dynamics of stability and social harmony that characterize its history
Incorrect. Same as A. Also the phrase "the dynamics of stability and social harmony that characterize its history" changes the intended meaning of "themes that characterize its history"
E. The important theme that characterizes Chinese history is the pattern of dynastic rise and fall, intermittent aggression from northern aliens, along with varying degrees of openness to outside cultural influences and the dynamics of stability and social harmony
Incorrect. Same as C
Answer: B

Among the important themes that characterize Chinese history are the patterns of dynastic rise and fall, intermittent aggression from northern aliens, and varying degrees of openness to outside cultural influences and the dynamics of stability and social harmony
A. Among the important themes that characterize Chinese history are the patterns of dynastic rise and fall, intermittent aggression from northern aliens, and varying degrees of openness to outside cultural influences and the dynamics of stability and social harmony
Incorrect. "and varying degrees of openness .. and the dynamics ... " is not correct. For this to be correctly listed as one element in a list, varying degrees of [openness to outside cultural influences] and [x] have to be parallel. Here, "the dynamics of stability and social harmony" attempts to incorrectly parallel "openness to outside cultural influences". Perhaps removing the "the" before dynamics corrects this.
B. Among the important themes that characterize Chinese history are the patterns of dynastic rise and fall, and intermittent aggression from northern aliens, together with varying degrees of openness to outside cultural influences and the dynamics of stability and social harmony
Correct. B averts the problem in A, where too much content has been jammed in the last element of a set. The first set of {"patterns of dynastic rise and fall" and "intermittent agression"} is clearly separated and rather elegantly paralleled to the second set of {"varying degrees of openness" and "dynamics of stability and social harmony"}, each of which in itself is parallel.
C. The important themes that characterize Chinese history are the patterns of dynastic rise and fall, intermittent aggression from northern aliens, along with varying degrees of openness to outside cultural influences and the dynamics of stability and social harmony
Incorrect. Changes the meaning by omitting the "among".
D. Among the important themes of Chinese history are the patterns of dynastic rise and fall, intermittent aggression from northern aliens, varying degrees of openness to outside cultural influences and the dynamics of stability and social harmony that characterize its history
Incorrect. Changes the meaning by misplacing the "characterize its history" at the end, suggesting that the previously listed elements do not characterize history.
E. The important theme that characterizes Chinese history is the pattern of dynastic rise and fall, intermittent aggression from northern aliens, along with varying degrees of openness to outside cultural influences and the dynamics of stability and social harmony
Incorrect. Subject and verb do not agree. "Important theme" and goes on to list multiple items.
