A. often employs common words in ways that clash with the general usage, such as "temperate"; this term is generally used to refer to mild, pleasant weather, but climatologists use it in regions where summers are hot, winters are harsh --- 1) such as "temperate" is misplace 2) //ism error : "summer are hot" and "winter are harsh" are not // with "extreme climatic variation
B. often employs common words in ways that clash with their general usage; for instance, the term "temperate," which in general usage refers to mild, pleasant weather, is used by climatologists to describe regions with hot summers, harsh winters --- seems good
C. employs common words often and in ways that clash with general usage; specifically, the term "temperate" is generally used for mild, pleasant weather, and by climatologists to refer to regions with hot summers, harsh winters --- and is // with nothing , these two clauses seems to have no relation , "by climatologists" is awkward

E. employs common words in ways that often clash with their general usage; climatologists in particular use the term "temperate" -- which generally refers to mild, pleasant weather -- in describing regions with hot summers and harsh winters --- 1) their is ambiguous,but I'm not sure this should be the factor of elimination as it sounds illogical if referred to "ways" 2) in describing is awkward
