All the best peeps..! Kudos desired btw :)
do let me know if u require OE..


correct idiom :
X is related to Y
and
X is in relation with Y

in this question the first one is used,hence eliminate A,B and E
remaining C&D
C is structured better ( although is used correctly)
:)

kudos :), if it helped

Hi,

In choice D, I can eliminate the phrase/clause between the 2 commas. Doing this keeps the sentence perfect.

Also, option C, IMO, is not structured properly because the first half talks about the cat & suddenly second half starts talking about purring noise.

So I chose to go with option D as the correct one.

Any mistakes with my approach?

Thanks,

Although shows contrast so whatever comes after although must show contrasting relationship, further the correct idiomatic usage of although is - Although x , y

Correct idiomatic usage of related is - Related to

Hence the option (C) is correct in all respect...

PS : Knowledge this idiomatic list would have definitely helped you for this particular question : https://www.gmatpill.com/the-gmat-pill-m ... diom-list/
