that might at one time have bought homes as young adults are choosing to forgo such purchases in favor of living in rented accommodations.
(A) that might at one time have bought homes as young adults
(B) that as young adults might once have bought homes
(C) who might once have bought homes in young adulthood
(D) who in young adulthood might have at one time bought homes
(E) who, when they were young adults, might at one time have bought homes
A - many people
that is not used for human beings - therefore incorrect choice.
B - many people
that is not used for human beings - therefore incorrect choice.
C - (1) who - correct pronoun used, (2) Appositive issue -
in young adulthood is modifying "homes" because it is the closest noun - incorrect placement
D - (1) who - correct pronoun used, (2) Appositive correctly placed after who and therefore modifies many people.
E - Because the statement "
when in young adulthood" is placed between commas, it acts as a non restrictive clause. We need to use restrictive clause to only refer to people who did something in their young adulthood and not everyone.
Therefore,
option D is the correct answer. Posted from my mobile device
