while not technically incorrect, that's bad writing (since that sentence could clearly be better written with _____'s on both parts).
if you saw something like that, there would ALWAYS be something better in another answer choice—making this a non-issue.

again, you are making things needlessly difficult here.
• this is a multiple-choice test!
• the correct answers will not contain bad writing!
• you don't have to know how to write correct answers!

i'm afraid you are spending huge amounts of time "studying" things that have nothing to do with the actual task of GMAT sentence correction.
