Shouldn't E be eliminated because of redundancy of 'as'...?
can you please specify the source of a question...?

“As and as” is not redundancy

Yes, I had chosen option 'B' and after careful evaluation, I am convinced that option E is better.
However, still wonder if the question is of GMAT quality
B is the correct answer. The source is Manhattan and B is mentioned as correct option.
E changes the meaning: Housboat is classified as "a recreational watercraft" not as "with a full head with both shower and toilet".
Kuddos, if it helps.

For income tax purposes, the IRS defines a house boat
B. as one that is classified as a recreational watercraft and that has a full head with both shower and toilet.
we are defining house boat as one [single thing] and 'that' modifies noun 'one' thing aka houseboat.
a) recreational watercraft
b) and has a full head with both shower and toilet
one makes the parallelism correct [define noun1 as noun2] and 'that' is required to describes house boats. so no redundancy.

Hello KEADM,
We hope this finds you well.
To answer your query, Option E produces a somewhat ambiguous meaning because of the phrase "with a full head with both shower and toilet"; the construction of this phrase incorrectly implies that the IRS defines a house boat as a boat whose classification is "recreational watercraft with a full head with both shower and toilet"; the intended meaning is that the IRS defines a house boat as a boat that fulfills two separate requirements - it is classified "recreational watercraft" and also has a full head with both shower and toilet.
We hope this helps.
All the best!
