B- Best ||ism. whose... whose. grow... increase... they correctly refers to canaries.

D: is close but they is ambigious. are the neurons learning new songs??? or are the canaries. B/c canaries are never actually mentioned in this sentence, they refers to neurons. the neurons obviously don't learn new songs.

tough.
Got C

EDITED: After reading the posts, I agree that it is D.

a, b, and c all dont work. examples of...

need d or e.

tough between d and e.

d is out though cause 'they' after canaries lacks parallelism with 'mice' before it.

E works. mice that, canaries that. brain growth, an increase. all good parallelism.

I chose E as my answer.

B : Recently documented examples ... mice : Doesn't work
C: mice's brains aren't placed in a stimulating environment
D: Canaries' neurons don't learn new songs. Though am tempted to chose this cause of parallel structure.

That's why I chose E. Any suggestions? Does anyone have the OA?

Modification q i guess

Between D & E
had selected D ...before reading the posts :)
My answer : E

I am pretty sure it is E. Neurogenesis is the creation of new brain cells. So, documented examples have to be cases of brain growth, not of the mice's brains themselves. B & C are out. A is out because we aren't sure if it means that the brain is placed in the environment, or the mice. D has two problems as i see it, "when" is unclear, and ||ism between "the brain growth in mice" and "the increase in canaries' neurons"

It was straight 'E'

'D' - incorrect. In 'canaries’ neurons when they' mismatched antecedent. They should replace canary and not neurons. Canarys learn new songs
