Wow that is a tricky question.

It is E because deaths can not be approved by board of directors.

This question made me laugh :lol:
E is the only option that doesn't deal with death being approved by the committee or with death being one of the members of the committee.

One thing to remember is that after evaluation of all the grammar rules, be sure to analyze if the sentence has logical structure and meaning. Clearly the answer choice is C because deaths cannot be approved by the board at a meeting.
