The section's new manager is limited in his effectiveness because he is convinced that, of all the possible methods for monitoring progress, the most effective is checking on his employees every few minutes.

A. is checking on
B. is checking in on
C. are checking in on
D. are checking upon
E. are checking on
OA is A
I agree A is the best answer.
but can someone explain what meaning can option B result in?
is it grammatically correct or not?

to check in on someone = the see whether the person is ok.
Concerned that his sick mother had not eaten, John checked in on her.
This idiom is acceptable in informal settings but too colloquial for the GMAT.

Followed here and elsewhere by over 1900 test-takers.
I have worked with students based in the US, Australia, Taiwan, China, Tajikistan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia -- a long list of countries.
My students have been admitted to HBS, CBS, Tuck, Yale, Stern, Fuqua -- a long list of top programs.

what is the meaning of "checking on" then?
What is the difference between options A and B meaning wise?

to check IN ON someone = the see whether the person requires assistance.
As noted above, this idiom is too colloquial for the GMAT.

Hello Mitch,
In the revised GMAT, what are the chances that test takers will be tested on this kind of an idiom.
We have been hearing alot that GMAC no more tests this kind of idiom.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks

On the modern GMAT, an answer choice with an idiom error is guaranteed to contain another error.
As a result, a test-taker unfamiliar with the proper idiom can still find reason to eliminate the answer choice.
The SC above is testing idiom usage only and thus is NOT reflective of the modern GMAT.
