The events of the 2006 movie Driving Lessons focus on the friendship between Ben, a shy teenaged boy, with an aging and eccentric actress, Evie, when she hires the boy as a companion to assist her in the house and drive her to various appointments.
A) friendship between Ben, a shy teenaged boy, with an aging and eccentric actress, Evie,
B) friends Ben, a shy teenaged boy, along with an aging and eccentric actress, Evie,
C) friendship that develops between Ben, a shy teenaged boy, and an aging and eccentric actress, Evie,
D) developing friendship between Ben, a shy teenaged boy, with an aging and eccentric actress, Evie,
E) shy teenaged boy, Ben, and the friendship with an aging and eccentric actress, Evie,

Official Explanation



Creating a filter: We read the prompt and spot a problem. "Between" requires the use of "and," not "with." "Between...and..." is a key two-part construction on the GMAT. We look for an answer choice that solves the problem.

Applying the filter: our filter applies most quickly to Choice (C), which solves the problem, and choice (D), which does not. We'll check (B) and (E). In (B), "along with" is wordy and grammatically removes "Evie" from part of "friends," so it's out. In (E), Ben has now been removed from the friendship.

The correct answer is (C).
