Problem with D is, it has changed the meaning of the original sentence.
D is having wrong use of had....It says that counting happened before all other activities which is wrong.

missiong SaysI need some more explanation on this please.....
When multiple actions have taken place in the past we use 'had' to signify precendence of one action...
eg : I had attended school before I went to college.
Now lets look at the sentence...
D. A new study has cited faulty voting equipment, confusing ballots, voter error, and problems at polling places in estimating that 4 million to 6 million of the 100 million votes that were cast had not been counted in the 2000 United States presidential election.
'had' is before 'counted' - which conveys that the votes were 1st counted and then casted.
Hope this helps..

Between X and Y is correct usage.

The Forbidden City in Beijing, from which the emperors ruled by heavenly mandate, was a site which a commoner or foreigner could not enter without any permission, on pain of death.
(A) which a commoner or foreigner could not enter without any permission,
unidiomatic - ...without any permission...
(B) which a commoner or foreigner could enter without any permission only
distorts the meaning - suggests that a commoner or foreigner could enter
also unidiomatic - ...without any permission...
(C) which no commoner or foreigner could enter without permission,
this statemtn correctly conveys the intended meaning - no one can enter without permission.
(D) which, without permission, neither commoner or foreigner could only enter,
incorrect -neither commoner or foreigner.... - Correct form is neither X nor Y
(E) which, to enter without permission, neither commoner or foreigner could do,
incorrect -neither commoner or foreigner.... - Correct form is neither X nor Y
correct idiom: BETWEEN A AND B
Option A, B are both using between A with B...wrong..
Option D is awkward..
Option E changes the meaning..
Option C... must be correct..

simple approach..
stick to parallel structure here..
The federal rules aimed at protecting human subjects of medical experiments were established to ensure that patients _____________ evaluate the experiment before it was conducted.
the mood is subjunctive..
the tense in present..
now find a sentence from options that maintain this structure..
look closely and you would see that none of the option apart from option E fit in here..
would be warned of potential risks and that an independent panel would
patient would be wared... experiments would evaluated..
hope that helps.. ;)

the presence of too many commas may cuase some trouble comprehending the meaning.. but then after re-reading the main sentence twice or max three times you might get the clue..
also notice that comma is part of underlined portion of the sentence, so might not be related directly to the following line..
avoid the wordy (option A) and awkward (option B, option D, option E) sentences..
the answer must be option C... lemme know the OA plz.. 😉
OA is C :)
@pj2, are u sure that "any perrmission " is not the correct idiom ?
