Excerpt from: norse mythology part d kate mcconnaughey (34) and in a hall far brighter than woden’s valhalla, the brave warriors and those who were good will be gathered forever. read the passage. look at the underlined section marked number (34). there may be a mistake in the way the sentence is written. if you find a mistake, choose the answer that corrects the mistake. if there is no mistake, choose ‘correct as is.’ a) correct as is b) and in a hall far brighter than woden’s valhalla, the brave and good will be gathered forever. c) and in a hall far brighter than woden’s valhalla, the brave and good ones will be gathered forever. d) and in a hall far brighter than woden’s valhalla, those who are brave and the good will be gathered forever.

B) And in a hall far brighter than Woden’s Valhalla, the brave and good will be gathered forever.

Answer “B” is correct because the way the sentence originally appears is with an error in parallelism.  For a sentence to be parallel, it should have list items (note that a list/series is two or more items) appear with same/similar grammatical elements.  The original—“brave warriors and those who were good—consists of an adjective|noun (brave|warriors) followed by and adjective|pronoun|verb|adjective (thoses|who|were|good), which is thus not paralle.  To correct this, as well as make this more concise, you can just use adjectives—“brave” and “good”—and that will make this sentence’s list parallel.   

themselves

an intensive pronoun is a pronoun that ends in self or selves, such as himself, herself, themselves, yourself, ourselves. since band members is a third person plural, the correct intensive pronoun would be themselves. if the band was talked about as a collective noun, itself would be the appropriate intensive pronoun. intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to the noun it's modifying which is why it directly follows it.

rivernaysan = anniversary

for some reason there is another anniversary but, that is correct
