1st Error split: Sentence talks about Pisum Sativum ...so pronoun "it" - A elminated
2nd Error split: the sentence describes 2 functions of pisum - cross pollination and exihibit traits - Exhibhiting is not parallel - C eliminated
It should be exhibits since pisum sativum (collective noun) - So B Eliminated
Narrowing down to D and E - -- D lacks parallelism (flowering)
So E it is.
is "and also" an acceptable usage in GMAT?
I have seen many examples where this usage is not acceptable. Please clarify.
