This is is still a language structure problem and requires a great deal of attention in order to answer the question correctly

Option A - Incorrect
This is no different from the question statement underlined above with no logical meaning aside the one stated in the original statement.

Option B - Incorrect
The statement is originally a suggestive assertion and not a directive assertion that "bamboo would be used" although there appear s a problem with the comparison of the wood material in terms of the sentence construction.

Option C - correct
This takes the form of the statement in option B above although it shows clearly a more powerful sentence construction than in B above. The comparison is apt and consistent.

Option D - Incorrect
This statement is assertive as it suggests that "bamboo" is already in use which is clearly against the writer's submission.

Option E - Incorrect
The statement here is in comparison of two materials and non of it is better than the other. It seeks to equate "bamboo" to "wood" which makes the option statement lacking the truth.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
