E for me...

A is close, but TESTED THAT X and Y part is off, because it's unclear what exactly it was tested for


, and .... is the incorrect conjunction here. Makes the sentence somewhat stilted and choppy. Distorts the flow.

"that" clearly refers to the "jet engine".

(A) is succinct and clear.

@Apollo: No PC guru here has figured out how to copy and paste a file like that yet.

The OA turned out to be E. But the answer key that comes with the file isnt as reliable as you would like.

Yes, I picked A too and I really wanted to find out the correct answer as to why it was not A and rather E.

Here is a thread and now I get it why it is E :oops:

This is a very dubious SC.

I hope it is going to the 100 brutal SC list :)
