Doesn't (b) change the meaning of the sentence?

Yes, but this is the one which is think is grammatically correct

its an interesting question. Answer should be C.

IMO E

A-the most chance ....is not the overworked executive does not make sense
B-the highest degree of insomnia, changes the original sentence that talks about chance of someone getting insomnia with degree of insomnia.
C yet is used for contradiction, in this sentence no contradication is present.

D the greater degree of insomniacs is meaning less it should be the greater degree of insomnia

E is correct by POE, it is the best choice

what is the OA for this one?

my pick is (C)....yet is justified because the case is reversed for housewives...
(E).."for the most part" is confusing... part of what????

c) Most isomniacs are not overworked executives or students overwhelmed by studies, yet they are bored housewives who feels unfulfilled.

Isn't there a subject verb error in C..

Whats the OA...??

IMO B..
Though it changes the meaning...

IMO B

A - The most chance - not idiomatic
B - The highest degree - changes meaning
C - Yet they are - Changes meaning
D - Greater degree - not idiomatic, unclear
E - Nothing wrong with it. Maybe a concision issiue at most.

IMO E.

Degree of insomnia?! Just doesn't make sense... I don't think insomnia can be measured in "degrees" (like temperature)... I'd personally eliminate any answer choice that has that phrase in it...

Is there any thing wrong with A? apart from being.

IMO A

whats the OA ?
