Ghost Answer -
Scientists who endeavor to explain the way scientific work was done in the laboratories of the seventeenth-century chemists, must address a fundamental inconsistency between the way such experiments were actually performed and the way the seventeenth-century rhetoric
described them.
A - The "
describing" is not parallel to the verb performed.
B - The word who after scientists makes the part not very important to the whole sentence, and hence can be removed. Hence if we read the whole sentence after removing the part from who, it becomes
scientists and ........ which makes no sense. hence eliminate b.
C - Again the word and is not required after the coma. hence eliminate C.
D - There can be inconsistency
Between two things. The absence of the word between makes the sentence incorrect. Hence eliminate D.
E - A perfect parallelism - "
between how such experiments were actually performed and how the same were described by the seventeenth-century rhetoric". Plus the first part of the sentence is also in perfect flow with the second part of the sentence. Hence answer is E.
