in part for the acquisition of diversity in their student body

partly because of their student body acquiring diversity

partly because diversity should be acquired by their student body

IMO:A

This is a case of parallelism.

We have to make the underline part parallel to "partly because recommendations provide more personal appraisals of students' abilities. "

First, C can be tempting.But,it has the following flaws..

1. "their student body acquiring diversity " is a wrong usage.
2.We cannot make out to what/whom "their" is refering to.

IN E ,"to acquire" is the right usage.And "partly" suffice the parallelism.

well i chose D. It was incorrect and the explanation that was attributed for it being incorrect is on the term 'partly'.. can someone explain this? i am sure its not incorrect for passiveness.. shd i post the OA?

sorry by mistake i wrote IMO:A...ITs E (You can make out from my explanation )

D..though seem correct is in passive voice.Eliminate passive voice options.They are wrong most of the time.

IMO E

Can anyone please post the OA. I know it is a pretty old post. I am not convinced with E as the answer. Instructors please help.
