(A) among those who believe in compromising with mainstream politicians in order to achieve some goals with those who believe the party must not abandon any of its principles - Since there are only two groups of people who are having a debate, we need to use "between".

(B) among those who believe that achieving some goals requires compromise with mainstream politicians and those believing that none of the party’s principles must be abandoned - same as A

(C) between those believing in compromising with mainstream politicians in order to achieve some goals with those who believe the party must not abandon any of its principles - correct idiom is "between-and"

(D) between those who believe in compromising with mainstream politicians in order to achieve some goals and those who believe the party must not abandon any of its principles

(E) between those believing that achieving some goals means compromising with mainstream politicians and those who believe that the principles of the party must not be abandoned - not parallel

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION



D This is a tricky between/among question. The rule is that between is used to compare two items, among to compare three or more. Here we are talking about thousands of people, so you might think that among is the correct choice. However, because the sentence compares two groups of people, the correct answer is between. The argument is between the two groups, not among the thousands of people who make up those groups. Eliminate A and B.

We can eliminate C because it is unidiomatic: It draws a comparison between one group with another when it should draw a comparison between one group and another. Choice E can be eliminated because it lacks parallel structure: It compares those believing that achieving some goals… and those who believe that the principles of the party must not be abandoned. The best answer is D.
