Trevon Mora · Answer 1

A). That of European languages, in both grammar and vocabulary, have.

Explanation:

As per the question, option A displays the correct form of the underlined phrase as it follows the grammatical rules and parallelism that comprehends the meaning of the sentence. The other options either contain parallelism error like in options B, D, and E (as the singular verb 'has' follows the plural noun 'striking differences') or grammatical error like in option C that wrongly employs 'those'. Thus, first option best suits the passage (grammatically) and comprehends the meaning of the passage. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
