A) are able to be trained to communicate as humans
Dolphins disguised as humans?
B) were able to be trained to communicate as humans
This is past tense. The researchers are making an assertion about dolphins that's still true.
C) can be trained to communicate like humans can
"like humans can ... be trained"? Hmmm.
D) could be trained to communicate as humans
See a.
E) are capable of being trained to communicate as humans do
I like this one best.
I pick E.

Agree with E. I think this is one exception to not eliminate E because of the word "being".

lastochka,
I think the reason is that we use "as" to compare actions and "like" to compare nouns. Hence, C is incorrect.

(E) it is .
C is wrong because if you read the stimulus plugging in (C), it reads
Researchers have explored the possibility that dolphins can be trained to communicate like humans can …be trained
It means humans were trained to communicate thus dolphins can be trained to communicate as well. Basically, (C) gives the sentence a new meaning;.
