1. That is used for inanimate objects. Hence only those is correct.
2. Parallelism. Settling is incorrect. Settle is more correct.
C is the answer.

The best labor negotiators are the ones that have the ability of settling even the

A. The ones that have the ability of settling even
B. Them that are able even to settle
C. Those who have the ability to settle even
D. Those that are able to even settle
E. The ones who have the ability of even settling



OA in two days..

+1 for C. Those represents negotiators, ability to settle even is the right order.

ans (C)
Get rid of (A) right away, because the ones is awkward.
The idiom is ability to, not ability of.
Use the 2/3 split and get rid of (A) and (E) .
When you refer to people, it’s proper to use who, not that; eliminate (B) and (D).
(D) also has a split infinitive
