A. Since 1959, McKinsey & Company, and Harvard Business Review have presented annual awards recognizing the best articles published each year in the magazine.
B. Since 1959, McKinsey & Company, alongwith Harvard Business Review has presented annual awards recognizing the best articles published in the magazine each year.
C. Since 1959, McKinsey & Company, and Harvard Business Review have annually presented awards in recognition of the best articles published every year in the magazine.
D. Since 1959, McKinsey & Company, and Harvard Business Review has annually presented awards recognizing the best articles published in the magazine every year.
E. Since 1959, McKinsey & Company, and Harvard Business Review have annually presented awards in recognition of the best articles published each year in the magazine.
So subtle differences... I am trying to build a structure for myself.
1. I have also thought about what daagh mentioned.
It seems to me, there is no redundancy. "Annualy presented" and "published every year" are2 different actions. So it is ok.
2. The simple one. X and Y ---> plural ---> D is out.
3. Now. "Presented annual awards" and "Have annually presented awards" - really very subtle. It seems like the second one is clearer. It makes us to exclude A and B.
4. One more subtle issue. "awards recognizing the best articles" and "awards in recognition of the best articles"
From one point the first one for me is more GMAT-like construction. From another point it sounds like award recognize the best article - it is odd. Maybe it is really better to choose the second one.
If so, A, B, and D (again, no matter) are out.
5. So we are between C and E.And I do not know exactly why C. Maybe because "every year" sounds better than "each year"
