<i>Other people believe that after a nuclear war, with resulting radiation and disease, the world wouldn’t be worth living in.</i>
<i>Other people believe that after a nuclear war, with resulting radiation and disease, the world wouldn’t be worth living in.</i>

After the colon, all three items in the series need to have the same structure. Currently, this is what's there:
~ independent clause
~ independent clause
~ a noun with an article and an adjective
How will you fix it? How will you make sure all three parts of that series match in their structure.
