Company X has seen sales of its filtration pitcher

Question

Hi,

I have come across this question while solving knewton SCs.

Company X has seen sales of its filtration pitcher,  which attempts to remove those impurities that are present within tap water , soar ever since the city issued a warning against drinking unfiltered tap water.

(A) which attempts to remove those impurities that are present within tap water
(B) which attempts to remove impurities from tap water
(C) which try to remove tap water's impurities
(D) that try to remove impurities from within tap water
(E) that attempts to remove impurities that are present within tap water

I got confused between B & C . Can somebody please explain which one is correct and why?

carcass · Answer

Because in C should be  tries in third person : the verb refers to the pitcher that is singular.

Thanks alot carcass...

I totaly missed that 'try' is plural, :roll:

. I guess, I need to work on verbs forms. Thanks again... :thumbup:

if we have a comma, "that" can't be used. D and E are out.
among A/B/C - B is the most concise and best one.

Company X has seen sales of its filtration pitcher, which attempts to remove those impurities that are present within tap water, soar ever since the city issued a warning against drinking unfiltered tap water.

(A) which attempts to remove those impurities that are present within tap water
(B) which attempts to remove impurities from tap water
(C) which try to remove tap water's impurities
(D) that try to remove impurities from within tap water
(E) that attempts to remove impurities that are present within tap water

Ans; B is correct.
option A - too lenghty(wordy)
option B - it seems precise, so hold it.
option C - hold it,
option d - that must not come after comma.
option E - same as D

NOw between B and C , choose B only because C is a case of Apostrophe, which is avoidable.
