Option C is correct.
As last clause is in simple past tense("after professors and alumni complained"). "would" will be correct .
Option A,B & C left.
In option B"and" is incorrect and in second clause present perfect tense is used.
In option A "after" should be preceded by a comma.

"out of" is proper usage not "out from" in this case 2. I saw the objection (from the alumni and professors) as hypothetical, and with the hypothetical tense you use "would" and "were' , in this case would. -Cheers

The underlined part is an appositive. It renames and describes E-du. Notice that if you remove it, the sentence is still correct.

The difference between the two is "offering" and "that offers." Can anyone explain why answer (C) is better than answer (E) in this regard?

E. of E-du, an education consortium that offers undergraduate students the opportunity to take online courses for university credit, after professors and alumni complained that the program will Grammar issues have already been explained in a clear way: thus this is my meaning approach which leads to a two-three split
The meaning in sentence A is not logically sound.It is not likely that Ivy League Schools, after pulling out from E-du, start offering on-line courses, as "Offering" seems to convey, otherwise why did they pull out of it??
Also B has the same meaning issue: Ivy League won't start to offer opportunity to take online courses as "will" seems to suggest, otherwise there is no reason to pull out of E-du.
So after the split only C,D,E remain.
Hope this helps
If so please kudos...

Hi Veritas, Is there any difference b/w pulled-out of and pulled out from. Also, why is usage of "will" incorrect in D and E.??? Thanks, Jai I have seen both being used though 'of' is usually used in formal language. Between will and would, will is used to talk about the future, to make offers and promises e.g. I will go with you. We will get late. etc would is used when talking about the past or in hypothetical situations e.g. It would be difficult to get in touch with her. I thought I would be late. etc This is a hypothetical situation "the program would cheapen the prestige of a degree". We cannot say whether it will happen. It's hypothetical. If students are provided online courses, it would cheapen the prestige of a degree, hence three schools have pulled out.

applying e-gmat concepts, it is possible to easily identify the logical errors in this sentence. Let's see the meaning of the sentence: -> Three Ivy League schools have pulled out of E-du -> Edu is an education consortium that offers undergraduate students the opportunity to take online courses for university credit -> These schools pool out after professors and alumni complained -> they complained that the program would cheapen the prestige of a degree. the only answer choice that follows the above structure is C, of course after eliminating other answer choices based on grammatical errors (will vs would)

Everything is clear except will/would thing.
Why "will" should not be used.
Now they are complaining something, so "will" could be suitable.
Am i wrong?

Am i wrong? We should always ensure that intended meaning of question stem is not lost. Question stem shows uncertainty by using the word would that it may or may not reduce.Option which shows similar kind of uncertainty will be the right choice. Hope that helps.
