It was between A and D for me. I chose A because I thought the use of brackets is not correct! Any thoughts!!

This is what the testmakers want you to think!

Just get your fundamentals strong. For example, if they were, you would eliminate A due to redundancy, as remarked above!

While diabetes does not interfere with digestion, on the other hand, it does prevent the body from converting an important product of digestion, glucose, which is commonly known as sugar, into energy.

a. While diabetes does not interfere with digestion, on the other hand, it does prevent the body from converting an important product of digestion, glucose, which is commonly known as sugar, into energy.

The correct idiomatic expression is -

on the one hand...on the other hand........

b. Diabetes does not interfere with digestion, but it does prevent the body from using glucose, which is commonly known as sugar, which is a product of digestion and which is converted into energy. - Wordy and Awkward.

c. Commonly known as sugar, glucose is an important product of digestion, which is prevented from being converted by the body into energy by diabetes, although diabetes does not interfere with digestion. - Run On + Incorrect.

d. Diabetes does not interfere with digestion, but it does prevent the body from converting an important product of digestion, glucose (commonly known as sugar), into energy.

It - clearly refers to Diabetes

Prevent X from Y - Correct idiom used.

e. Diabetes does not interfere with digestion, but glucose (commonly known as sugar) is an important product of digestion and is unable to be converted into energy by the body because of the disease. - Incorrect.

Hello thakurarun85,

We hope this finds you well.

Having gone through the question and your query, we believe we can resolve your doubts.

Option C does not seem to actually have a "run-on" error. The error in Option C seems to be that it places information that is vital to the meaning of the sentence - the fact that diabetes prevents glucose from being converted into energy - between two commas; please remember, information that is vital to the meaning fo the sentence cannot be placed between commas.

The issue with Option E seems to be its passive construction, which renders is awkward and needlessly wordy.

We hope this helps.
All the best!
