I like this sentence a lottt

During the exam if you do not attack it more aggressive than normal it put you out of ttrack for sure.

In this case all seems correct and the meaning doesn't help me too much this time.

In this situation look at the nuances, scanning all 5 choices at time and eliminate them as soon as possible.

From - generally it is used when we talk about some geographical place

In which - in which a phenomenon, inside it, deep inside have no sense.

Between - is needed because we want a distinction between something ( 2 things and between wants always AND, so stay on the look out, among for several things eventhough there are some exceptions)

All this brainstroming lead me to D.

Indeed, D is the correct answer

You nailed it Carcass! The problem gives two choices "distinguish X from Y" and "distinguish between X and Y". The second one, "distinguish between X and Y', is idiomatically preferred on the GMAT, thus (A) is eliminated. (B) is wordy and awkward. (C) has pronoun "they" with no logical antecedent. (E) does not provide the appropriate parallel structure.

A and D use correct idioma distinguish x from y /distinguish between x and y. I don't see errors in A and D. Plz explain why D is the answer!
