It comes down to C and E for reasons stated above. The reason C is incorrect is because "differences in the human body's internal pressure and that of the ocean" seams to suggest that the ocean has internal pressure, which of course it does not because it is not an animal...Thus, E is correct because it uses the correct comparison.imskpwr wrote:Because of differences in the human body's internal pressure and the ocean's, it is essential that a diver returning to the surface ascends slowly or they will suffer a painful condition known as the "bends."

differences in the human body's internal pressure and the ocean's, it is essential that a diver returning to the surface ascends slowly or they
the difference between the human body's internal pressure and the ocean's, it is essential that a diver returning to the surface ascend slowly or they

Parallelism is perfectly followed in this sentence.

HI imskpwr,
i too got confused with the usage of ascend over ascends. But if you look closesly We need subjunctive for such constructions as IT IS ESSENTIAL / DEMANDED / SUGGESTED etc etc. and hense E is correct.
Also In C, parallel elements are not correct.

"a diver" will go with "he" so choices A, B and D are eliminated. the correct idiom is difference between when comparing two things. here the comparison is between internal pressure of a body and oceans. "difference between Internal Pressure of the human body and that of the ocean. hope it is helpful

Sentences with subjunctive mood have the following structure regardless of the subject
that + the infinitive form of the verb without 'to'.
You can not choose C because "Difference in" is the wrong idiom. you can use "will" because the two sentences are joined by "or".

isn't "would" required to show a subjunctive mood here?sana.noor wrote:Sentences with subjunctive mood have the following structure regardless of the subject

This isn't the subjunctive, it's the future conditional.
