Hi mukherjee.tanuj3,

This SC provides a number of clues in the answers and in the prompt as to how to find the correct answer. Here are the rules that I used to beat it:

1) Pronouns - the word "them" in the first part of the sentence is a plural pronoun, so we need a plural noun. Eliminate B and D.

2) Parallelism - the sentence lists 3 things a farmer must do for his cows. The first item ("keep them cool") defines the first part of the parallelism. The second and third items must match. The items should be "provided" and "milked." Eliminate A and C.

Final Answer: E

It's also worth paying attention to the meaning here, because the construction in the first clause sets up an expectation in the underlined section.

The sentence begins, "For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool..." implying a sort of conditional relationship. IF a farmer takes care to keep cows cool, THEN something is likely to happen.

In the original sentence, the verb "are producing" (present tense) doesn't make logical sense. We'd need a future tense to help clarify that conditional relationship. Only E offers the future tense and gives a logical meaning: When farmers do X, Y WILL occur.

Q1. Why is THEM wrong, as the 1st segment uses THEM?
Q2. How are the 3 segments parallel?
