In the admissions process, universities have begun to focus more and more on recommendations from teachers and personal statements from students, in part that their student body should acquire diversity and partly because recommendations provide more personal appraisals of students' abilities.


in part that their student body should acquire diversity

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

partly to acquire diversity in 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.

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

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

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.
