chetan2u · Answer

Errors ...
1) found X or found that X
Whenever you're talking of a clause, use found THAT. But if you are writing found NOUN so found Ram in the market. Here we are talking of a clause, so found THAT
2) Both X as well as Y is wrong..
Correct is both X and Y
3) AND compared with.... parallels compared with FOUND
X and Y found that.... And compared with....
Also BUT compared with .. shows contrast, which is wrong.

Ans E

Akash720 · Answer

Split 1: Fount about / Found that
Found about one in ten people changes the intended meaning -  Incorrect 
Fount that one in ten people conveys the correct meaning -  Correct  
 Eliminate A, B

Split 2:
but compared with / compared with
But brings in unnecessary contrast in the sentence and changes the intended meaning -  Incorrect 
 Eliminate C

Between D and E
 Both X and Y is the correct idiom usage 
 Both X as well as Y is incorrect 
 Eliminate D

Hence E is the correct answer

First, when we report the results of a study, theses, hypothesis, findings, and the like, it is customary to introduce the effects in a subordinate clause introduced by 'that.'

Einstein's theory proposes that all the cosmic bodies bound by the 'Relativity' theory 
His study proves that marine fish does not grow well in fresh water

However, we can also drop the subordinate conjunction 'that; but the structure will then involve an infinitive or a gerund 
Einstein's theory proposes all the cosmic bodies to be bound by the 'Relativity' theory 
His study proves marine fish not (to grow well/growing well) in fresh water.
That is the reason that we can drop A and B.

Second, when we write a simple sentence containing one IC followed by a modifier, then we should never use a co-ordinate conjunction such as 'and' or 'but.' Else, the sentence will turn unparallel. C is gone.

D is unidiomatic, as Chetan has pointed out, leaving E as the only reasonable choice
