A. This answer choice leads to a pronoun error; the sentence formed by Option A incorrectly uses the singular pronoun “it” to refer to the plural noun “star-nosed moles”.
B. This answer choice leads to a pronoun error; the sentence formed by Option B incorrectly uses the singular pronoun “it” to refer to the plural noun “star-nosed moles”. Further, Option B fails to maintain parallelism among the phrases “navigate their tunnels”, “they forage for worms and insects”, and “with such quick feedings”; please remember, all elements in a list must be parallel.
C. Trap. This answer choice leads to a pronoun error; the sentence formed by Option C incorrectly uses the singular pronoun “it” to refer to the plural noun “star-nosed moles”.
D. Trap. This answer fails to maintain parallelism among the phrases “navigates its tunnels”, “forages for worms and insects”, and the clause “it feeds quickly enough”; please remember, all elements in a list must be parallel.
E. Correct. This answer choice avoids the pronoun error seen in Options A, B, and C; the sentence formed by Option E correctly uses the singular pronoun “it” to refer to the singular noun “the star-nosed mole”. Further, Option E maintains parallelism among the present participle (“verb+ing”) modifier phrases “foraging for worms and insects” and “feeding so quickly that”, which both modify the clause “the star-nosed mole navigates its tunnels by its highly sensitive Eimer’s organs”.
E is the best answer choice. _________________
