Books in European libraries last longer than books in libraries in the United States because, although the climate in Europe is fairly humid, libraries there are not subjected to the extremes of temperature and humidity that damage collections in the United States.

A. because, although the climate in Europe is fairly humid, libraries there are not subjected to the extremes of temperature and humidity that
B. because, although the climate in Europe is fairly humid, libraries there are not subject of the extremes of temperature and humidity as those that
C. because, although the climate in Europe is fairly humid, libraries there are not subjected to the extremities of temperature and humidity as
D. because the climate in Europe is fairly humid, but still libraries there are not subject of the extremes of temperature and humidity as
E. because the climate in Europe is fairly humid, but libraries there are not subjected to the extremities of temperature and humidity such as those that


Narrow down to A, C & E

E - changes the original meaning of the sentence. It seems the books are better because of the climate in Europe. Which is not true. it is because that they are not exposed to extreme climates

C - incorrect - librariies and extremities both plural forms. Usage of 'as is not good.

Therefore 'A' will be my choise.

In the first 30 seconds I was going for 'E' as well

Def. A

DE change the intention of the contrast here. They last longer b/c the climate is fairly humid... this is kinda what DE suggest.

C: as is incorrect. should be that.

B: I was actually havin trouble with this one for a bit. coudlnt determine if it should be those or just that. those is not needed here. I opted for A.

"Subjected to" is correct. and A is crisp and clear
