Nothing more than a few words, hemaja31. How about we look at the two answer choices side by side?

Quote:
A. Despite her lack of work experience, Jane is so talented and easy going that she could fit in and help various organizations
D. Despite the fact that she lacks work experience, Jane is so talented and easy going that she could fit in and help various organizations

The original sentence more directly conveys just what Jane is lacking: we want to know the answer to the question, Despite what? Generally speaking, the more the what is delayed, the less direct that sentence is, so the real question becomes whether the extra words in the lengthier version of the sentence add anything in the way of vital meaning or clarity that the more concise version, well, lacks. Here, the answer is no. Jane lacks work experience, not a fact, so while the latter is not incorrect by any means, it loses out.

Good luck with your studies.

While grammatically E looks okay, its wordier than A. It is suffice to say that Jane is so talented and easy going that.. Stating that Jane is such a talented and easy going woman that... seems unnecessary.

Its a general preference that is followed in GMAT.
Whenever we have two options with no other differences, we prefer the verb form over the noun form.
'So....that' is verb form and 'such...that' is Noun form.
But use this concept if there are no other major mistakes in the choice and the only deciding factor is verb/noun form.

(B) Although usage incorrect.

(C) " fit in " and " fit" changes the meaning.

(D) So X that Y : Y msut describe X , but the highlighted part is wordy and repetitive and is not correct in GMAT land "the fact that"

(E) Such that Shows result ( Not true in this Case)


Answer must hence be (A)

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION



Despite her lack of work experience, Jane is so talented and easy going that she could fit in and help various organizations.


A. Despite her lack of work experience, Jane is so talented and easy going that she could fit in and help various organizations

The verb fit requires the preposition in to adequately connect to organizations.

What helps us identify this question as a Split Construction question and identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign: A split construction: Verb A + and/or + Verb B + object

In this answer choice, the first verb is followed by a preposition, so there's no mistake here.


B. Although she lacks work experience, Jane is so talented and easy going that she could fit and help various organizations

Stylistically, this answer choice is better (more concise) than the original sentence as a result of replacing Despite her lack of work experience with Although she lacks work experience.

However, this answer choice is grammatically incorrect.

The verb fit requires the preposition in to adequately connect to organizations.

What helps us identify this question as a Split Construction question and identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign: A split construction: Verb A + and/or + Verb B + object

Remember that Grammar overrides style on the GMAT.


C. Despite her lack of work experience, Jane is so talented and easy going that she could fit and help various organizations

This answer choice is grammatically incorrect.


D. Despite the fact that she lacks work experience, Jane is so talented and easy going that she could fit in and help various organizations

This answer choice is stylistically flawed. Replacing Despite her lack of work experience with the less concise Despite the fact that she lacks work experience creates redundancy.


E. Despite her lack of work experience, Jane is such a talented and easy going woman that she could fit in and help various organizations

This answer choice is stylistically flawed. Replacing so talented and easy going with the less concise such a talented and easy going woman creates redundancy.
