114. Caribou are wary animals with excellent hearing, so stalking them over
the treeless landscape, getting close enough to kill it
with nothing but a
handheld lance, as Dorset people did, required exceptional hunting skill.

A. so stalking them over the treeless landscape, getting close enough to kill it

B. so to stalk them over the treeless landscape and get close enough to kill one

C. so in order to stalk them over the treeless landscape and get close enough to kill one

D. and so in order to stalk it over the treeless landscape, getting close enough to kill it

E. and so stalking them over the treeless landscape and getting close enough
in order to kill it

[spoiler] QA will be published later, I chose the correct one but took time b/w B and C[/spoiler]

B sounds right.

"it" is wrong in A, D & E! So Eliminate.

"In order" in option C is not required, and does not follow from the the first part. So i chose B.

OA?

I go for C.

B says:

So to do something and something, required good skills............................WHO???????????

So in order to do something and something, required good skills.................seems good.

Eliminate A, D and E as Caribou are plural and the referant IT is incorrect!

C is incorrect becuase meaning is not clear in order to stalk them required exceptional hunting skills does not make sense. I would have picked C if it implied in order to stalk SOMETHING MUST BE DONE and not mention a skill that the Dorset people already possesed.

B is the only one that is clear. Hence B is the answer.
