Veritas Prep Official Explanation:
The initial sentence commits a Pronoun error, using the plural pronoun 'they' to refer to the singular 'Dirac'. Similarly, choice C uses the phrase "both men" to refer to Dirac; there are only two men, and so it is illogical for 'both men' to share a prize with Schrodinger. Accordingly, A and C are both incorrect. Choice D commits a parallel structure error, using 'towards' in place of 'to'; because the sentence requires parallel construction between the two parallel elements ('to his collaboration' and 'to his own successful efforts'), the correct answer must have "to" as the connector for both elements. Choice E commits a Tense error, using 'shares' to refer to an event that clearly took place in the past tense ('in 1933).
