Q2) quick question on the structure of (E) -- This sounds wrong but i am not able to understand why this structure doesnt make sense from a meaning perspective
Is it just redudandancy to have "this fact showcases..." ..Thats what I thought
I ask because other posts have claimed that this structure doesnt make any sense from a meaning perspective specifically..

Yes, it is an actual meaning problem. When we say "Because X," we need to follow up with what happened because of X. We can't just restate that X caused something. So sure, it's redundant, but not in a small stylistic way. We *must* follow up with what was actually caused.
To compound matters, this sentence doesn't really describe anything that happened *because* of variations in the degree of similarity between twins. In fact, that part is the RESULT of the genetic variation mentioned at the end. So there's no way to redeem E after the "because" portion, even if we reword the rest of it.

Thank you DmitryFarber - for responding on (E) - just focussing on what you wrote above ..i think what you are saying is :
the yellow highlight in my screenshot SHOULD BE a result of the because clause (highlighted the green)
But the yellow clause is not a RESULT of the clause in the green.
Hence (E) even if reworded cannot be salvaged.
thoughts ?
