Option choice E would be correct if not for the word correct. Did you add that, OP?Update: Now answer choice E is the only suitable answer. The redundant of eliminates all other answer choices. Edit: Edited because OP edited original post

"One of the rarest and most alluring of the gems known" - the two "of's" are redundant. This also eliminates (B), (C) and (D). This should be a pretty easy problem.

(A) of the gems known
(B) of the gems to be known
(C) of the gems that is known
(D) known of the gems
(E) gems known My option would be E , because D is gramatically not correct, C is not correct bcoz & B doesnt suit the sentence .
