A. to be the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a hand held computer, and it weighs "It" is referring to computer rather than camcorder so this option is incorrect. Moreover "to be" makes this option passive.
B. to be the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a hand held computer, weighing This sentence makes "which is as long as a hand held computer" as non essential clause and means that camcorder is weighing only 11 ounce. But logically speaking Camcorder length and weight both as its attribute. Moreover "to be" makes this option passive. Moreover "Which" is referring to "world".
C. is the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a hand held computer, and it weighs "It" is referring to computer rather than camcorder and "Which" is referring to "world", so this option is incorrect.
D. is the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, which is as long as a hand held computer and weighs. "Which" is clearly referring to "camcorder".
E. is the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a hand held computer, weighing "the length of which is that of a hand held computer" is an awkward construction. "which is as long as a hand held computer" is much better.

claims and 'to be' go well together. I dont see anything wrong (gramatically) with A or D.
I would go with A (original) in that case.

Here "claims to be" is a trap. Most of us will blindly eliminate C,D,E for incorrect idiom usage.
In A , "it" does not have a clear referrant.
On the "Manhattan" Sc forum I found this explanation
They are claiming that it IS something - not that it "to be" something - so, no, we wouldn't use "to be" here. We'd say "the company has unveiled what it claims is the world's smallest..."
I could say, though, "she claims to be a violinist, but I've heard her play and she's terrible." So there are circumstances in which you could use "claim to be" - but this isn't one of them.

Hi mbawater,
A is incorrect because if u cut out the modifying phrase, the sentence reads "The electronics company has unveilded what it claims to be the world's smallest network digital camcorder and it weighs less than 11 ounces."
In this sentence, "it" doesn't have a clear referrent, since it could refer to either company or the digital camcorder, which makes A incorrect.
D and E are both gramatically correct, but D is clear and concise

I dont seem to agree with the OA on this one as well. Iknow why the OA is wrong. Lets discuss and later I'll share my thoughts.
B,C-- out becuase which modifies the world instead of camcorder. E -- it talks about weighing handled computer not digital camcorder A -- its not clear whether it repsents handled computer or digital camcorder
I will chose D.

D for me as well.
I honestly looked at the ending part of each option to narrow down my choice. In the end, only D has consistency.
A. "the length of which.... , and it weighs" is wrong. Should be "the length of which...., and the weight of which...." B. "which is as long as...., weighing..." nope, not it. C. "which is as long as...., and it weighs..." again, not consistent. The "it" throws it off D. "which is as long as....and weighs...." that's consistent. E. "the length of which is ..., weighing..." again, not consistent.

A
claims to be is an idiom so C,D, and E are out.
WHICH in B illogically modifies WORLD rather than CAMCORDER

I got the answer in about 30 seconds. D.
So, scan the ends, and go through the choices shortest to longest.
Start with D:
the which properly refers to camcorder, and if you ellipse which with is and weighs, it is correct. D has no grammatical flaws, and is short and concise, let's hold onto it.
E. is the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, weighing E: correct-- but 'length of which' is a bit wordy. D does the same thing but is shorter and more concise.
C. is the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a handheld computer, and it weighs WRONG-- which refers to WORLD. Completely wrong.
B. to be the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a handheld computer, weighing WRONG-- same thing, WHICH refers to WORLD.
A. to be the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, and it weighs It works, but D is more concise.
