(C) The fact that deer cause damage to plants

(E) Deer damage plants, which

MANHATTAN REVIEW OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:



The sentence is not correct as written. The damage has occurred but the second part of the sentence talks of preventing the damage. Eliminate A. What can be prevented? Is it the damage or the fact that deer cause damage. It is the damage that can be prevented. Eliminate C. D has the same problem as A. The word ‘which’ is misplaced in E. As it is written ‘which’ refers incorrectly to the plants. B is the correct answer.
