OA E
POC : IIism -> remains fit the best a,b,c out
Out of D and E
remains so/thus even when …
E is better than D and opt E .
Can go for D if E was having some flaw.
My doubt in pin pointing error/flaw with D.
although -> seems to be causing issue but i am not able to give words to my doubts. Experts can you provide explanation.
Another point apart from the parallelism problem: Whether or not is redundant.
D uses the word “although” which is used for contrast.
Even when the teacher was in the class, the students were unruly.
Irrespective of whether the teacher is in the class, the students behave unruly. Here there is no need for the teacher to be present – they would still be unruly.
Although the teacher was in the class, the students were unruly.
In this case, we are saying that THOUGH the teacher is present in the class, the students are still unruly.
However, instead of using that logic, I would pick the phrase “in this way” as the reason for elimination. In what way? We use “this” as an adjective to point out to something specific i.e. I want *this* pen. So it is unclear what “in this way” means.
