C - 'with its trunk originally evolving' incorrectly modifies aquatic animal
E. Comments in color.
Australian embryologists have found evidence that suggests that the elephant is descended from an aquatic animal, and its trunk originally evolved as a kind of snorkel.
(a).. "Elephant is descended" and "its trunk evolved" are not parallel. passive vs active voice.
(b) that has suggested the elephant descended from an aquatic animal, its trunk originally evolving
Changes meaning. Seems elephant descended as a result of its trunk evolving. Issue with subjunctive. "that" should follow suggested.
(c)suggesting that the elephant had descended from an aquatic animal with its trunk originally evolving
Changes meaning. Seems elephant descended as a result of its trunk evolving. "had" is improper
(d) to suggest that the elephant had descended from an aquatic animal and its trunk originally evolving
"had" is improper. Tense not in parallel.
(e) to suggest that the elephant is descended from an aquatic animal and that its trunk originally evolved
Plz provide explanation....

Having the vocal cords being removed in an operation needed because of his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Stephen Hawking, the world-renown physicist, communicates by typing his speech into a computer that then speaks the words that he selects on his keyboard.
(A) Having the vocal cords being removed in an operation needed because of his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(B) In spite of the vocal cords being removed in an operation needed because of his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(C) Because there had been an operation needed because of his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis that lost him his vocal cords
(D) The vocal cords being removed in an operation partly needed because of his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(E) His vocal cords removed in an operation partly needed because of his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
This is a crazy sentence. All of them look wrong to me!!
My pick: C though.

(A) Having the vocal cords being removed in an operation needed because of his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
"Being removed" gives a sense that the operation is ongoing.
(B) In spite of the vocal cords being removed in an operation needed because of his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
There is no need of "in spite of". It cahnges the meaning
(C) Because there had been an operation needed because of his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis that lost him his vocal cords
Not very much convinced but this looks the best.
(D) The vocal cords being removed in an operation partly needed because of his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
This sentence is a run on. Not able of connect clauses before and after comma.
(E) His vocal cords removed in an operation partly needed because of his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Same issue as D
i agree..(c) seems to be rite ans...before comma a dependent clause is needed starting with a dependent marker i.e. because

I am confused between option A and option E..has to be one of these 2 only..for sure..
owing to parallelism I cud mark option E..
owing to simplicity of the sentence I cud have marked option A..
lemme know the OA plz..
