1. Tense issue (Unnecessary present perfect tense)
2. Elliptical issue
3. Modifier issue


(A) has little relation to capability and many elderly people are ( 1. Tense issue – no reason to introduce present perfect tense, 2. Elliptical issue – “acknowledge “ many elder people…. Is not parallel to acknowledge that – Eliminate it)

(B) relates little to capability and that many elderly people are making (Elliptical issue - acknowledge that relates little to capability and acknowledge that many elder … - Eliminate it )

(C) bears little relation to capability, many elderly people making (“modifier issue” - many elderly people making modifies what – Eliminate it)

(D) bears little relation to capability and that many elderly people are ( [b]Seems like ok with elliptical - acknowledge that bears little relation to capability and acknowledge that many elderly people are - hold it[/b])

(E) has little relation to capability, many elderly people being (Tense issue – no reason to make it present perfect – Eliminate it)

Answer D
