Wow, extremely difficult SC :shock: Used the same logic pattern as Jerrywu.

The answer is (A)

1:43 !! :oops:

jjhko, do you have a text copy of this SC? It is worthy enough to be added to the brutal 100 list due out soon. Thanx!

same here..left with A and D.

Don't understand why you take out D. That seems a clear sentence than A.

Good question and going with A.
I think "but nonetheless" sounds redundant to me. "nonetheless" alone conveys the required meaning.

By the way , Best of luck for your GMAT jjhko.

A

individuals who have been X and [who] have thus never seen Y, nonetheless make..........

try removing the bold part then you will see that we don't need "but" etc...

The OA is A.

Research has shown that when speaking, individuals who have been blind from birth and have thus never seen anyone gesture nonetheless make hand motions just as frequently and in the same way as sighted people do, and that they will gesture even when conversing with another blind person.

Thanks for your responses guys! Could you tell me if the bold pairs above correspond with paraellism rules?

Thanks.

I really doubt if the parallelism applies to 'that'. One reason is 'they' in the last clause in that case doesn't refer to anything. Right?

Two reasons for choosing A:

1. "have thus" is better usage
2. that..that parallelism
