E. The auk not only exhibits a docile nature, not typically running from humans, but also provided delicious meat, as reputed by 19th century poachers,
mikemcgarry chetan2u daagh souvik101990
The reason i eliminated E is the usage of not only...but also
not only..but also ... provide a greater emphasis on the later part by saying - bla bla is not only X but also Y...here X may very well be important but Y too is important.. and somehow X and Y are relatable in "not only...but also" ...
here "exhibiting docile nature " and "providing meat" did not seem to be relatable and the usage of not only..but also, did not make much sense..
Am I right?? or there's no such thing ?? DmitryFarber VeritasPrepBrian

As far as i know , we have to go by the meaning conveyed by the original sentence.
A) means Auk was driven to extinction by 3 things:
docile nature,
not running away from poachers
and
tasty meat
C is wrong because it changes tense ,that i understand but in D not running away is showing how auk has docile nature so now 2 things corresponded to its extinction:
docile nature and meat quality
So is not it change of meaning?
What if exhibits were exhibited in C?

As long as E is rejected, it is ok, because the reason does not matter to GMAC. However, when Singapore is reachable in just two to three hours from India, would one like to go via Dubai, London, New York, etc because great scientists like Aristotle said that earth is round?.
The instant pointer is that two innate and inherent traits of something cannot be correlated in two different tenses or for that matter even just stated (without correlation) in two different tenses. By assuming that we can use past tense for the auk, we wrongly mean that they don't any more provide the delicious meat. This is untenable since the auk is still not entirely extinct, and there must be some good numbers still available. I am afraid we cannot let go this fatal error in A, B, C, and E.
Time is precious in the hall.
