OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Differential diagnosis must be the basis for treatment of epilepsy, since there are symptoms of brain trauma, such as seizure-like neurological events, behavior changes, or memory problems that may mimic this condition.
A. there are symptoms of brain trauma, such as seizure-like neurological events, behavior changes, or memory problems that may mimic this condition
Incorrect.
This answer choice is stylistically flawed. The pronoun this is ambiguous because it can refer either to brain trauma or epilepsy.
What helps us identify Pronoun mistakes is the following Stop Sign: Every pronoun in the underlined part of the sentence or after it
In addition, the phrase there are is unnecessarily wordy.
B. seizure-like neurological events, behavior changes, or memory problems, which are symptoms of brain trauma, may mimic this condition
Incorrect.
This answer choice repeats the ambiguity mistake in the original question. The pronoun this is ambiguous because it can refer either to brain trauma or epilepsy.
C. symptoms of brain trauma, such as seizure-like neurological events, behavior changes, or memory problems may mimic epilepsy
This answer choice corrects the Ambiguity mistake in the original question by changing this condition to epilepsy.
D. symptoms of brain trauma, like seizure-like neurological events, behavior changes, or memory problems may mimic epilepsy
Incorrect.
While this answer choice corrects the Ambiguity mistake in the original question by changing the pronoun this to epilepsy, it is stylistically flawed. When introducing examples, such as is stylistically preferable to like.
E. this condition may be mimicked by symptoms of brain trauma, such as seizure-like neurological events, behavior changes, or memory problems[/quote]
Incorrect.
While this answer choice corrects the Ambiguity mistake in the original question by placing this condition at the beginning of the underlined part so that it refers exclusively to epilepsy, it is stylistically flawed.
Using the passive form (may be mimicked) creates redundancy. Since there is another grammatically correct answer choice that does not use the passive form, it is preferable to this one.
