Research has found that a child born into a family whose members have schizophrenia will most likely themselves develop schizophrenia in their adolescence.


(A) a child born into a family whose members have schizophrenia will most likely themselves develop schizophrenia

(B) children born into families whose members have schizophrenia will most likely themselves develop schizophrenia

(C) a child born into a family the members of which have schizophrenia will most likely themselves develop schizophrenia

(D) in those families where members have schizophrenia, children will most likely develop schizophrenia themselves

(E) children born into families where there is schizophrenia will themselves most likely develop schizophrenia

MANHATTAN REVIEW OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:



This question looks complicated, but it is largely a question of sorting out very simple grammatical mistakes. If you say child, then everything has to be singular. If you say children, it has to be plural. All you are looking for is consistency of singular or plural forms. A doesn’t have it. It uses the singular ‘child’ and the plural ‘themselves’ and ‘their’. C also has a lack of agreement, this time between ‘child’ and ‘themselves’. D and E incorrectly use ‘families where’. ‘Where’ is used for locations. Therefore, choice B is the correct answer.
