Research has shown that when speaking, individuals who have been blind from birth and have thus never seen anyone gesture nonetheless make hand motions just as frequently and in the same way as sighted people do, and that they will gesture even when conversing with another blind person.

(A) have thus never seen anyone gesture nonetheless make hand motions just as frequently and in the same way as sighted people do, and that
(B) have thus never seen anyone gesture but nonetheless make hand motions just as frequently and in the same way that sighted people do, and
(C) have thus never seen anyone gesture, that they nonetheless make hand motions just as frequently and in the same way as sighted people do, and
(D) thus they have never seen anyone gesture, but nonetheless they make hand motions just as frequently and in the same way that sighted people do, and that
(E) thus they have never seen anyone gesture nonetheless make hand motions just as frequently and in the same way that sighted people do, and
let's beat GMAT.

is this the structure of "Research has shown that A and that B"?
so A?

Common guys. Lets make each post a little useful so that we can have at least some discussion if not much.

Look at this way if the poster of this question wanted to know your opinion, which, as it turns out, is nothing but an option, why would he waste his/her time and energy in posting the question; May be it is better for him to just open the answer page and look at the correct option.

Ok i'll ask you some questions to make this a little interesting.


Why A and why not C.

I dont think this is an issue of parallelism; Both actions clearly signify different things. Also ,and is a cordinating conjunction why do you need that to start an independent clause or is it I am totally off the charts.

Thanks.
No rest for the Wicked....

B ---but,nonetheless ---both mean the same.its a repetition here so wrong choice

C---anyone gesture, that they nonetheless --- no need of that here

D --- same mistake as in B

E ---as frequently and in the same way that sighted people do, --- wrong sentence construction
it should be "as frequently and in the same way as sighted people do"

so, the right ans is A
What Must Be Shall Be

PC is right and the question poster, many of your questions are without answers..It seems you enjoy discussion and keep answers to yourself..
Pls post the answers for previous questions.

Can you also share the answers.?

(A) have thus never seen anyone gesture nonetheless make hand motions just as frequently and in the same way as sighted people do, and that
(B) have thus never seen anyone gesture but nonetheless make hand motions just as frequently and in the same way that sighted people do, and
(C) have thus never seen anyone gesture, that they nonetheless make hand motions just as frequently and in the same way as sighted people do, and
(D) thus they have never seen anyone gesture, but nonetheless they make hand motions just as frequently and in the same way that sighted people do, and that
(E) thus they have never seen anyone gesture nonetheless make hand motions just as frequently and in the same way that sighted people do, and

C- that is never set up with commas as its a restrictive modifier

All others ( except A)..actions are compared with comparator and not modifiers that...its a blunder...

A-comparator as is used properly and parallelism is set correctly
that....and that....

iamcste is correct

C - That is restrictive modifier and never set off with a comma.

Secondly, the second That in A is required because this clause actually signifies the results of the Research.

Hence A.
