OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Here’s How to Crack It
If your checklist includes quantity words, the word “more” will set off red flags as you read the sentence. If there were two decisions facing the energy commission, then “the more perplexing” would be correct. However, the sentence says there are “many” decisions. Therefore the sentence must read, “the most perplexing.”
This allows us to eliminate choices A and D immediately. Choice C gives the impression that it is the question that is perplexed. Eliminate it. Choice E incorrectly positions “the most” after the word it is supposed to modify. The correct answer is choice B.
