Unlike the brain of a chickadee that lives in the wild, where it must avoid predators and forage for its food, a caged chickadee does not appear to produce nearly as many new neurons in the hippocampus.
(A) wild, where it must avoid predators and forage for its food, a caged chickadee does not appear to produce nearly as many new neurons in the hippocampus
(B) wild, avoids predators, and forages for its food, that of a caged chickadee does not appear to produce nearly as many new neurons in the hippocampus
(C) wild, avoiding predators and foraging for its food, far fewer neurons are produced in the hippocampus of that of a caged chickadee
(D) wild, and avoids predators foraging for its food, the production of new neurons is far less in the hippocampus of a caged chickadee
(E) wild, avoiding predators and foraging for its food, the production of new neurons will be far less in the hippocampus of that of a caged chickadee

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Answer: B
This sentence is fairly complicated, but if you recognize that it is built around a comparison, the question doesn't have to be very difficult. To simplify: "Unlike the brain of a chickadee that lives in the wild..., a caged chickadee...." What follows the comma must be comparable to "the brain" of one type of chickadee; it must be the brain of another sort of chickadee. We can't compare brains to chickadees. Check all the choices for what follows the comma. (A) is wrong because it compares "the brain" to "a caged chickadee." (C) is wrong, comparing "the brain" to "far fewer neurons." (D) and (E) make a similar mistake, comparing "the brain" to "the production of new neurons." The only properly drawn comparison is found in choice (B).

Unlike the brain of a chickadee that lives in the wild, where it must avoid predators and forage for its food, a caged chickadee does not appear to produce nearly as many new neurons in the hippocampus.
(A) wild, where it must avoid predators and forage for its food, a caged chickadee does not appear to produce nearly as many new neurons in the hippocampus - Comparison error (brain of a wild chickadee is compared to a caged chickadee)
(B) wild, avoids predators, and forages for its food, that of a caged chickadee does not appear to produce nearly as many new neurons in the hippocampus - Correct Option
(C) wild, avoiding predators and foraging for its food, far fewer neurons are produced in the hippocampus of that of a caged chickadee - Brain is compared to far fewer neurons
(D) wild, and avoids predators foraging for its food, the production of new neurons is far less in the hippocampus of a caged chickadee -Brain compared to production
(E) wild, avoiding predators and foraging for its food, the production of new neurons will be far less in the hippocampus of that of a caged chickadee - Same error as option D
(A) wild, where it must avoid predators and forage for its food, a caged chickadee does not appear to produce nearly as many new neurons in the hippocampus - Comparison error (brain of a wild chickadee is compared to a caged chickadee)

(C) wild, avoiding predators and foraging for its food, far fewer neurons are produced in the hippocampus of that of a caged chickadee - Brain is compared to far fewer neurons
(D) wild, and avoids predators foraging for its food, the production of new neurons is far less in the hippocampus of a caged chickadee -Brain compared to production
(E) wild, avoiding predators and foraging for its food, the production of new neurons will be far less in the hippocampus of that of a caged chickadee - Same error as option D
