A. weight which allowed
B. weight, which allows
C. weight which has allowed
D. weight that has been allowing
E. weight allowing the meaning of the sentence is not clear. strip the sentence to of any adjectives and adverbs to identify the meaning, and you will see the meaning looks awkward - ..."they expend less energy.... allowing them to survive"

dont have OA....Must be

The answer can be narrowed down to B and E. I will go with B.

A. weight which allowed PAST TENCE INCORRECT
B. weight, which allows WHAT DOES "WHICH" REFER TO BODY WEIGHT,EXPENDING LESS ENERGY ??? AMBIGUOUS
C. weight which has allowed PAST PERFECT TENSE INCORRECT
D. weight that has been allowing PRESENT CONTINIOUS TENSE INCORRECT
E. weight allowing....GERUND USE IS CORRECT AND CONCISE

SOMEONE MENTIONED THAT E CHNAGES THE MEANING.NOTE THE BELOW SENTENCES.....
I GENERALLY TRAVEL BY BUS SAVING MYSELF A LOT OF MONEY.
I RUN FASTER THAN ANYONE IN THE TEAM MAKING ME THE FASTEST RUNNER.

DO THESE SENTENCES CHANGE THE MEANING? I DONT THINK THEY DO



..."they expend less energy.... allowing them to survive" [/color]
