I love, but in the same time hate, such type of questions!
You need to be very, very, very attentive not to miss anything.
Let's understand the meaning first.
The ZC said smth. What exactly? (starting a list with 3 entities)
1. that its consultation process was exhaustive
2. that it coordinated and participated in over 250 meetings with (another list here - oh boy! right? :D )
a) leadership councils;
b) business empowerment boards;
c) and other community organizations.
3. and that none of the issued permits ought to have come as a surprise.
looks good so far...let's get to the POE!
A. has countered that its consultation process was exhaustive, that it coordinated and participated in over 250 meetings with leadership councils, business-empowerment boards, and
with other community organizations, and that none of the issued permits ought to have come as a surprise
this damn "with" might be easily overlooked! this single word makes the inside list not parallel. As a result, the answer choice A is incorrect...
B. has countered that its consultation process has been exhaustive, that it coordinated and participated in over 250 meetings with leadership councils, business-empowerment boards, and other community organizations, and that none of the issued permits ought to have come as a surprise
alright..this one changes the tense from "was exhaustive" to has been exhaustive - not a big difference..ok..
list 1 is ok
list 2 is ok
looks like we have a winner...better check the other ones as well just to make sure.
C. has countered that its consultation process has been exhaustive,
it coordinated and participated in over 250 meetings with leadership councils, business-empowerment boards, and other community organizations, and none of the issued permits ought to come as a surprise1st error - 1st list is not correct. twice the same error...2nd entity and 3rd entity
2nd error - we have an IC in the middle. this IC is not connected properly to anything...good bye C!
D. countered that its consultation process has been exhaustive, that it coordinated and participated in over 250 meetings with leadership councils,
with business-empowerment boards, and other community organizations, and that none of the issued permits ought to have come as surprises
oups!
we either use with for all entities of the list or not use it at all for 2nd and 3rd...
D is out.
E. countered that its consultation process was exhaustive, that it coordinated and participated in over 250 meetings with leadership councils, business-empowerment boards, and other community organizations, and none of the issued permits ought to have come as a surprise
again..a missing that in the third entity of the first list makes this choice incorrect...
B must be the answer!
