Here, we take a look at the solutions provided with the view to choosing the best fit.

In Option A - INCORRECT. This is an express statement that shows the mind of the writer. Unfortunately, it doesn't answer the question raised here. Yo can't answer a question with the question itself.

In Option B - INCORRECT. Here, a different meaning was envisaged. It seeks to express that Dinosaurs ''stood'' in a particular position that's different from the way it is used to on this occasion.

Option C - INCORRECT. This is just too much of grammar and unnecessary semantics. It could have been simpler yet still retaining the meaning.

In Option D - CORRECT. This is a much simpler statement that expresses the mind of the writer even to a layman. It is the most correct of all the options. I guess you like Dinosaurs too.

Option E - INCORRECT. This is all neither case of unnecessary verbosity in language. Too much emphasis on the words used without adding different meaning or orientation.

"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."
