"In order to detect" is a prepositional phrase. The "one" doing the action of detection should be placed close to this "phrase". So, only (C) and (D) remain. Rest choices can be eliminated on this ground.

Between (C) and (D), (C) is direct and precise. Though I could not find any discernible errors in (D), (C) conveys the same meaning in lesser words. Thus, the correct choice to me.


The use of "be" doesn't dictate anything here?
If you could be more precise with your doubt, I'd be better able to help you out.
I hope you were able to follow how I zeroed on (C) and (D). Between (C) and (D), the usage of "be" in (C) is superior just because it's concise and "be aware" is better suited here than "have awareness". (D) is grammatically correct.

Yes both are grammatically correct, I’d rather pick C according to VAN rule(verb>adj>noun).

(A) the awareness of cancer screening and diagnostic tests is a must

(B) it is important to be aware of cancer screening and diagnostic tests

(C) one must be aware of cancer screening and diagnostic tests

(D) one must have awareness of cancer screening and diagnostic tests

(E) it is important that one be aware of cancer screening and diagnostic tests


Official Explanation:



Answer: C

(B) Same as A.

(C) The correct answer.

(D) Be aware in C is more concise than have awareness of in D which is wordy and awkward.

(E) Same as A.
