IMO C
I think the "curds and whey" will be considered as singular and hence A and B can be eliminated.
Between C, D and E:
E does not make any sense at all cos it ends with is
D is a bit wordy and hence C is the answer.
OA please

I really like this question... This question is again a perfect example of how the non underlined part of the sentence gives way to the correct answer....selango wrote:Though the "curds and whey" of the nursery rhyme sounds exotic or old-fashioned, they are likely to be something similar to cottage cheese.

Read: Though the "curds and whey" of the nursery rhyme sounds exotic or old-fashioned... usage of sounds makes it totally clear that curd and whey is singular...
Hence... A&B can eliminated straight away... Among C, D & E... It is pretty clear that the answer should be C...
