Most important component: Cast you vote

Answer is C
Reason; Grammatically correct, precise and concise, correct pronoun
A,B & D are wrong as plural pronoun is wrongly used
E is wrong because it is lengthy and wordy

C

All other options have plural, doesn't go along with the singular "deer"

We can arrive at the answer for this question by looking at the pronoun used to modify "The deer" in each of the options.

All the options apart from C, have pronoun errors. "The deer" is singular and therefore cant be modified using plural pronouns: them, they as seen in the options A, B, D and E (highlighted above). Option C modifies "The deer" without using pronouns or introducing any other errors, and thus making C the right option.

The deer, despite having traveled hundreds of miles from their home to reach the Canadian wilderness and therefore being free to roam without fear of highway traffic or other man-made dangers, struggled to acclimate to the habitat that wildlife biologists had predicted would enable it to thrive.
it in the sentence let me know The deer is singular, not plural (while deer can be both singular and plural). => eliminate A, B, D because their and E them
C is my answer.

The correct answer is C

(A) despite having traveled hundreds of miles from their home to reach the Canadian wilderness and therefore being free to roam without fear of highway traffic or other man-made dangers. The deer is singular noun.

(B) despite having traveled hundreds of miles from home to the Canadian wilderness where they would now be free to roam without fear of highway traffic or other man-made dangers.The deer is singular noun.

(C) despite having traveled hundreds of miles from home to reach the Canadian wilderness that offered freedom to roam without fear of highway traffic or other man-made dangers.

(D) even after traveling hundreds of miles from their home to reach the Canadian wilderness where they could freely roam without fear of highway traffic or other man-made dangers.The deer is singular noun.

(E) who had traveled hundreds of miles from home to the Canadian wilderness that would offer them freedom to roam without fear of highway traffic or other man-made dangers. using who is wrong and The deer is singular noun.

I will choose option C.

In the question, if you look closely, the non underlined part has "the deer" in the beginning, and "would enable it" in the end of the sentence. The last point "enable it" confirms that the the subject "the deer" is a singular subject.

answer option A, B, D, and E used either they or them in the choice and hence can be eliminated.

The deer, despite having traveled hundreds of miles from their home to reach the Canadian wilderness and therefore being free to roam without fear of highway traffic or other man-made dangers, struggled to acclimate to the habitat that wildlife biologists had predicted would enable it to thrive.

(A) despite having traveled hundreds of miles from their home to reach the Canadian wilderness and therefore being free to roam without fear of highway traffic or other man-made dangers

(B) despite having traveled hundreds of miles from home to the Canadian wilderness where they would now be free to roam without fear of highway traffic or other man-made dangers

(C) despite having traveled hundreds of miles from home to reach the Canadian wilderness that offered freedom to roam without fear of highway traffic or other man-made dangers - correct as there is no "they" or "them", and not even "being"

(D) even after traveling hundreds of miles from their home to reach the Canadian wilderness where they could freely roam without fear of highway traffic or other man-made dangers

(E) who had traveled hundreds of miles from home to the Canadian wilderness that would offer them freedom to roam without fear of highway traffic or other man-made dangers[/size][/quote]
