Official Solution:
As part of a protest against what he considered unlawful military action, the performance artist dressed in complete British Army camouflage fatigues, with commando boots wearing a red beret, and laid down in a street in the city center.
A. fatigues, with commando boots wearing a red beret
B. fatigues, with commando boots and a red beret
C. fatigues with commando boots, with a red beret
D. fatigues and commando boots and a red beret
E. fatigues, commando boots, a red beret
As written, the original passage makes it sound as if the artist’s boots are wearing the red beret, rather than the artist himself. The correct answer choice will clear up this confusion and list the items the artist was wearing as part of his complete uniform in correct parallel form.
A. This option is confusing, making it sound as if the commando boots are wearing the beret.
B. CORRECT. This option correctly identifies the fact that commando boots and a red beret are part of the complete uniform of a soldier, and expresses each part in parallel form.
C. Conjunction "and" is missing before "with a red beret" .
D. Though this option is grammatically correct, the list of items does not express the idea of a complete uniform called for by the sentence.
E. This option makes the sentence incomplete.

I think this question is good and helpful.
I think the "Mark as a guess button" should be placed near the "next button". As it is placed now, we may consider that is too far and in the haste of the CAT we don't want to lose time; for this reason, the percentage of guessed questions may not be accurate.
