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!

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.

Hi Koyal, the short answer is that following is how Statement 1 is like:
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.
This statement can be (mis-)interpreted as if most analysts agree on only one thing: that the index was unlikely to continue going up. The second statement (inflation remained under control) could be a completely different statement (perhaps the author's opinion, rather than opinion of the analysts).
On the other hand, Statement 2 is like:
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.
Notice that the parallelism between that and that make it very clear that both these statements are opinion of the analysts, since the structure of the sentence is:
Most analysts agree i) THAT (the index was unlikely to continue going up) and ii) THAT (inflation remained under control)
There are quite a few official examples, where that is repeated, but this just seems to be a preference of GMAT (especially when the second clause is quite far from the first), and not a rule.
For example, following would be correct:
Teacher suggested that Jack work hard and show the results.
What is not needed is:
Teacher suggested that Jack work hard and that Jack show the results.
Let's see some official examples where that is repeated:
#47, OG-13: In 1713, Alexander Pope began his translation of the Illiad, a work that took him seven years to complete and that literary critic Samuel Johnson, Pope’s contemporary, pronounced the greatest translation in any language.
#97, OG-13: Some anthropologists believe that the genetic homogeneity evident in the world's people is the result of a population bottleneck-that at some time in the past our ancestors suffered an event that greatly reduced their numbers and thus our genetic variation.
#3, Verbal Supplement: However much United States voters may agree that there is a waste in government and that the government as a whole spends beyond its means, it is difficult to find broad support for a movement towards a minimal state.
