    The failing of the book lies not in a lack of attention to scientific detail but in the depiction of scenes of life and death in the marine world with emotional overtones that reduce the credibility of the work.

    (A) depiction of scenes of life and death in the marine world with emotional overtones that
    (B) fact that it depicts marine world scenes of life and death as having emotional overtones that
    (C) depiction of scenes of life and death in the marine world, whose emotional overtones
    (D) depiction of marine world scenes of life and death, which have emotional overtones and thus
    (E) fact that it depicts scenes of life and death in the marine world, whose emotional overtones

    OA : A

    -A-

    C, D and E assert that the scenes actually have emotional overtones which is not consistant with the original sentence and doesn't make sense

    in B "as having emotional overtones" sounds awkward; addition of the word "fact" makes the sentence wordy
