Kapil1650: Why A and not C, why either side not both side?

OBJECT is sought to be created by SUBJECT (As it shows intent ;subject should be living)

DIPLOMACY cant sought something hence through is correct.

Need some help in understanding why A is correct and C is incorrect, although option A is OA.
Things drew my attention :-
1. Usage of comma to separate
2. 'attacked on either side' instead of 'both sides', not usual to see something like this

I wouldn't study this one. "Sought to be created" does not work. You can say that someone "sought to create" something, or that a solution "is sought." But those don't combine. You can't seek something in order to create it!

Further, while "each" and "both" can work differently, there is no meaningful distinction to be made in this case. (Also, I imagine the term we want is "pro-establishment.")

Hello rdrdrd1201,

We hope this finds you well.

To answer your query, unlike "when", "whenever" does not refer to a point in time; rather, it means "every time when".

Moreover, as DmitryFarber has mentioned above, this question is not really worth your time; we advise ignoring this one, as it does not seem to be particularly GMAT-like.

We hope this helps.
All the best!
