Grammar
"followed by" (survey)
Hi,
"In the questionnaire, nine of the total respondents chose A, followed by B chosen by seven, and C by five."
Would the above sentence sound natural if you said it in front of people (e.g. in a meeting)?
Thanks in advance!

I don't like its lack of parallelism.
A was chosen by 9 people, B by 7, and C by 5.
Or A was the most popular, chosen by 9 people, followed by B, which was chosen by 7, and then C, chosen by 5.
Or
A 9
B 7
C 5
etc.
