rlevochkin wrote: It is C for the last one. According to an unofficial explanation, "might" is a legitimate substitute for "may". D is missing a preposition. What preposition is missing in D? The second Sc has confounded me . SOS . Agreed the Sc 1 has nothing to do with may / might . But since the topic has been broached , could somebody explain when should we use may and when should we use might ?

Yep, might is the simple past tense of may. In this sentence, we need present tense. Hope that help

According to scientists at the University of California, the pattern of changes that have occurred in human DNA over the millennia indicate the possibility that everyone alive today might be descended from a single female ancestor who lived in Africa sometime between 140,000 and 280,000 years ago.
Just to confirm..
I believe the high lighted text would be the subject of the sentence? or is it just pattern of changes?
please justify!
And any specific grammar rule which tells us to avoid subjects that have a relative clause ( here That)

Since the pattern of changes is singular ,it must be has occured right ?

What's wrong with C? Is it the "had lived"?
