Doctors still know

by good_done25 » Wed Jul 29, 2009 6:29 am
Doctors still know little about how the Listeria bacterium is spread and why the disease it causes, listeriosis, afflicts some people in a contaminated area though it spares many others.

(A) though it spares
(B) where it spares
(C) despite sparing
(D) when sparing
(E) while sparing

Correct Answer is E

Can any one help why A or B are incorrect ? I am asking for B as I had read somewhere that where can act as "whereas" in some cases.
