In human hearing, subtle differences in how the two ears hear a given sound help the listener determine the qualities of that sound.

(A) in how the two ears hear a given sound help the listener determine
(B) in the two ears hearing a given sound help the listener in determining
(C) in how a sound is heard by the two ears helps the listener determine
(D) between how the two ears hear a given sound helps the listener in determining
(E) between how a sound is heard by the two ears help the listener in determining

OA is A

Why E is incorrect?

E is wrong because it incorrectly uses the idiom between X and Y. There is no Y part in choice E.

IMO A is correct...

E is incorrect because of using passive voice...sound is heard by the two ears....

in A it says...two ears hear a given sound...it is in active voice...thats y eliminate E...

any other reasoning is welcomed....

Thanks
Gautam

+1 for A

C is passive in construct.

D and E use the idiom between X and Y incorrectly

OA is A
Why E is incorrect?
Going through options:
B: correct use of differences in/ Hearing is wrong. As it shows this thing is currently happening. however the sentence above seems to be general statement so we need to choose the simple present ie. hear
C: heard - past tense
D,E- use of Differences between is wrong.
