http://www.general-ed.com/The statement is comparing the quality of protein in wheat with that in the rice. So that is the meaning we should strive to make after correcting the grammatical errors.
Non-underlined part says -
In addition to having more protein -than wheat does this part is modifying "Rice" so {A and C} can be rejected.
In {D} - it says -
rice protein and this part compares this rice protein with that in the wheat, which is not making any sense.
Hence reject {D}
In {E} a
"that" is missing after than - because it is protein in rice which is higher in quality than the protein in wheat, not that protein is higher quality than wheat.
So the correct one according to me is {B}protein in rice is correctly compared to the protein in wheat, and rice is correctly modified by the non-underlined part.
