Hello Everyone,
It would be great if someone could please explain:
--> Why Statement 1 is incorrect.
--> How is 'that' marked in Sentence 2 justified.
Statement 1: Although the rise in the index was greater than expected, most analysts agree that the index was unlikely to continue going up and inflation remained under control.
Statement 2: Although the rise in the index was greater than expected, most analysts agree that the index was unlikely to continue going up and that inflation remained under control.
Thank you in advance!

This is a question on parallelism.
In statement 1:
- Most analysts agree that the index is unlikely to continue going up
- and inflation is under control (which most analysts may or may not agree, we're not sure)
>> Notice there is not a comma before "and", so the second statement is not an independent clause (also no noun)
>> This means that "and" is used to join a list here, which requires all elements to be parallel
In statement 2:
- Most analyst agree
- that the index is unlikely to continue going up, and
- that inflation is under control
>> The two "that"s tie the both statements to the the analyst.

Could you please post the entire question? These two statements look correct to me. Probably some other part of the first statement made it wrong.
