Caribou are wary animals with excellent hearing, so stalking them over the treeless landscape, getting close enough to kill it with nothing but a handheld lance, as Dorset people did, required exceptional hunting skill.

A. so stalking them over the treeless landscape, getting close enough to kill it
B. so to stalk them over the treeless landscape and get close enough to kill one
C. so in order to stalk them over the treeless landscape and get close enough to kill one
D. and so in order to stalk it over the treeless landscape, getting close enough to kill it
E. and so stalking them over the treeless landscape and getting close enough in order to kill it

B it is.

A uses them/it... so there is a plural/singluar conflict in A
First take: 640 (50M, 27V) - RC needs 300% improvement
Second take: coming soon..
Regards,
HSPA.

Is the answer E. Doesn't the sentence require 'and' after the comma?

IMO B.
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

Yup A uses singular it & is therefore wrong.......

To me it looks like "B", in all others there are singular/plural issue.

What is the OA?

Thanks.

A. so stalking them over the treeless landscape, getting close enough to kill it
B. so to stalk them over the treeless landscape and get close enough to kill one
C. so in order to stalk them over the treeless landscape and get close enough to kill one
D. and so in order to stalk it over the treeless landscape, getting close enough to kill it
E. and so stalking them over the treeless landscape and getting close enough in order to kill it
Issues with E:
1) use of IT - what does IT refers to?
2) no comma before and after SO (comma is required to show that SO is acting as an interrupter
3) use of IN ORDER TO is wordier than using just TO

In addition to what patanjali.purpose said, "so" is a better connector than "and so" in this instance.
