B: of a set of indivisible particles that makes up all matter bears a striking resemblance to modern atomic theory

it kind of give an impression that it is theory that makes up all matter

C: that a set of indivisible particles makes up all matter bears a striking resemblance to modern atomic theory

C correctly remove that anomoly and it should be the correct answer also.

What is the OA?

E: which bears a striking resemblance to modern atomic theory is that there is a set of indivisible particles making up all matter

What is the difference between B and C?

OA: C

I will go with C here...."that" is clearly describing the theory

@smartmundu, You're right to identify the "that" as the issue here. On the GMAT, the word "that" is required to introduce the results of a study, a discovery, or a theory. For example:

Copernicus discovered THAT the sun was the center of the universe.
The study finds THAT cheetahs are faster than turtles.

Colloquially, many English speakers would omit the "that," but on the GMAT this omission would be incorrect. Keep in mind that this structure introduces a description of the study/theory/etc. If you're just naming a theory, like Einstein's theory OF relativity, you might see a different construction. However, if you went on to describe this theory, you'd say, "Einstein's theory of relativity states THAT......."

Hope that helps!

I can see you after a long time.

I think the sentence below is correct, except for the inclusion of the article, "a". The revised sentence should be "I can see you after long time".
