Concepts tested here: Subject-Verb Agreement + Parallelism + Awkwardness/Redundancy• Any elements linked by a conjunction ("and" in this sentence) must be parallel.
A: This answer choice incorrectly refers to the plural noun phrase "Two disabled children" with the singular verb "enters". Additionally, Option A uses the redundant phrase "the other one", rendering it awkward and needlessly wordy; this phrase is redundant, as the pronoun "one" can be deleted without a loss of clarity.
B: This answer choice fails to maintain parallelism between "one with crutches" and "the other one a wheelchair"; please remember, any elements linked by a conjunction ("and" in this sentence) must be parallel. Additionally, Option B uses the redundant phrase "the other one", rendering it awkward and needlessly wordy; this phrase is redundant, as the pronoun "one" can be deleted without a loss of clarity.
C: This answer choice incorrectly refers to the plural noun phrase "Two disabled children" with the singular verb "enters".
