A. The fact of some fraternal twins resembling each other greatly and others looking quite dissimilar
highlights an interesting and often overlooked feature of fraternal-twin pairs, namely they vary
considerably
B. That some fraternal twins resemble each other greatly while others look quite dissimilar
highlights an interesting and often overlooked feature of fraternal-twin pairs, namely that they
vary considerably
C. With some fraternal twins resembling each other greatly and others looking quite dissimilar, it
highlights an interesting and often overlooked feature of fraternal-twin pairs, namely
considerable variation
D. With some fraternal twins resembling each other greatly and others looking quite dissimilar, it is
a fact that highlights an interesting and often overlooked feature of fraternal-twin pairs, namely a
considerable variation
E. Because some fraternal twins resemble each other greatly and others look quite dissimilar, this
fact highlights an interesting and often overlooked feature of fraternal-twin pairs, namely they
vary considerably
This phrase makes no sense.
Eliminate A.
In C and D, it lacks a clear antecedent.
Eliminate C and D.
E implies the following:
This fact highlights an interesting feature BECAUSE some fraternal twins resemble each other.
Not the intended meaning:
That some twins resemble each other does CAUSE the fact to highlight an interesting feature.
Eliminate E.
The correct answer is B.
