What is the value of S if S=\(1+ \frac{43}{83} + \frac{32}{91} + \frac{29}{120} + \frac{15}{79}\) ?

A) 1 to 1.5
B) 1.5 to 2
C) 2 to 2.5
D) 2.5 to 3
E) 3 to 3.5

Looking at the expression with so many large prime numbers, I know that I am not supposed to do any calculations with them. It just won't be possible in under 2 mins without a calculator. So then I would consider approximating. And that is when I would notice that all the fractions are close to standard fractions of 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 and 1/5.
Thereafter, it is a simple matter of adding them up.
