C&E are passive construction and awkward in meaning....they imply that - every 26 event will strike only one person !!

IMO D. I agree with nittinj. C and E are changing the meaning.

I think its A...

For all the options where " a person in United states", it applies to everybody in united states... If I say " A person in United states gets visa to india easily". Here again it applies to all in united states..
Please correct if I am going wrong...

Also OA pls...

It has to be D.

A and B - wrong - usage of that + should
C and E - changing the meaning - how:-

an event will strike one person in US every 26 seconds.

it could mean that:-
a specific even lets say, a shoe..
E ==> a shoe will strike Bush every 26 seconds.
C ==> a shoe will strike Bush once in every 26 seconds.

Also, Researchers have calculated --> must modify time.
so, in D:
..calculated that every 26 seconds, a person in US will experience an event...!

ok lets take E and D...thats where i am stuck

E ==> a shoe will strike Bush every 26 seconds.

D=> every 26 sec bush will be struck by a shoe...

i am unable to understand the diff between E and D,,,

IS IT THAT In d time is modified and thats why it is correct or in E intended meaning is not clear....

there is a similar question in OG 10

"one" refers to a specific person and is wrong. "a" is right

"a corona event" dose not need "once"

D is left.
