Without recognizing the pronoun “it” toward the end of the sentence, far from the underline, you’d struggle to gain a foothold here. “Deer” is both singular and plural, so if you didn’t notice that defining singular pronoun “it” you wouldn’t be turned off by the presence of “they”, “their”, and “them” in choices A, B, D, and E. But the word “it” makes “deer” singular, and only choice C (which avoids the use of a second pronoun) can then be correct. V07-22

OA: C

Official Explanation:  This sentence is entirely about the advanced GMAT theme of “The Whole Sentence Matters”. Without recognizing the pronoun “it” toward the end of the sentence, far from the underline, you’d struggle to gain a foothold here. “Deer” is both singular and plural, so if you didn’t notice that defining singular pronoun “it” you wouldn’t be turned off by the presence of “they”, “their”, and “them” in choices A, B, D, and E. But the word “it” makes “deer” singular, and only choice C (which avoids the use of a second pronoun) can then be correct.

Aspirant18 · Answer

Ans C

A,B,D,E are eliminated because of sub verb agreement errors

jirayr · Answer

C

All other options have plural, doesn't go along with the singular "deer"

mladner · Answer

Answer is C because "it", located at the end of the sentence is singular and refers to the deer. The deer , at the beginning of the sentence, can be plural or singular, the "it" tells us it is singular. Therefore we can eliminate all sentences with they, their or them

ssule · Answer

We can arrive at the answer for this question by looking at the pronoun used to modify "The deer" in each of the options.

All the options apart from C, have pronoun errors. "The deer" is singular and therefore cant be modified using plural pronouns: them, they as seen in the options A, B, D and E (highlighted above). Option C modifies "The deer" without using pronouns or introducing any other errors, and thus making C the right option.

rajathpanta · Answer

The Ans is C-

The explanation is as follows-

A- eliminate A as the Deer is singular and not plural. Here its referred to as 'their' which is wrong usage
B-eliminate B as the Deer is again referred to as their. Also the usage where they would now be is not appropriate.
D- eliminate D because the usage of their to refer to the deer is wrong
E-Who had traveled is the wrong usage. 
C- the usage of the pronoun and the tense is right.

gmatwala1212 · Answer

The answer is C.

All other answers refer Singular Subject "Deer" with Plural pronouns such as "They", "Them".

nnitingarg · Answer

I will choose option C.

In the question, if you look closely, the non underlined part has "the deer" in the beginning, and "would enable it" in the end of the sentence. The last point "enable it" confirms that the the subject "the deer" is a singular subject.

answer option A, B, D, and E used either they or them in the choice and hence can be eliminated.

The deer, despite having traveled hundreds of miles from their home to reach the Canadian wilderness and therefore being free to roam without fear of highway traffic or other man-made dangers, struggled to acclimate to the habitat that wildlife biologists had predicted would enable it to thrive.
it in the sentence let me know The deer is singular, not plural (while deer can be both singular and plural). => eliminate A, B, D because their and E them
C is my answer.

(A) despite having traveled hundreds of miles from  their  home to reach the Canadian wilderness and therefore being free to roam without fear of highway traffic or other man-made dangers

(B) despite having traveled hundreds of miles from home to the Canadian wilderness where  they  would now be free to roam without fear of highway traffic or other man-made dangers

(C) despite having traveled hundreds of miles from home to reach the Canadian wilderness that offered freedom to roam without fear of highway traffic or other man-made dangers - correct as there is no "they" or "them", and not even "being"

(D) even after traveling hundreds of miles from their home to reach the Canadian wilderness where  they  could freely roam without fear of highway traffic or other man-made dangers

(E) who had traveled hundreds of miles from home to the Canadian wilderness that would offer  them  freedom to roam without fear of highway traffic or other man-made dangers

OA please?

vivekvasireddy · Answer

Option C
Because:
Remove pronoun which creates ambiguity.
sentence that is clear and concise

nadeemkamal · Answer

C. 
rest all have "them" for The Deer.

gopkrish88 · Answer

C for couple of reasons

A). It has a "being" in it and how much gmat hates "being" because of redundancies and passive construction is well known
so  eliminate A

B).Subject verb agreement mismatch : The deer/They and NOW is not needed in the sentence
 eliminate B

C)."the canadian wilderness" offered freedom as "star bucks" offered coffee so its right
and uses "that" to identify a subordinate clause

Keep C

D).Again Subject verb mismatch
 eliminate D

E).Doesnt show us a contrast ,to what was expected , Thus changing the meaning
so  eliminate E
 
Ans is  C

voodoochild · Answer

C - the deer is singular as written in the non-underlined portion. All answer choices have 'they' or 'them'.....

Argon · Answer

A,B, D & E are out as all of them uses a plural pronoun (they/them) for the singular 'The deer'.

Now when you look at C, it is correct in terms of using a singular pronoun(it). Moreover the clause starting with 'that' is kept close to the 'wilderness' which it modifies. So perfect
