Jane Goodall

by simone88 » Sun May 06, 2012 2:53 am
In her 26 years in the forests of Gombe, Jane Goodall collected data that proved that chimpanzees exhibit the kind of curiosity so that new patterns of behavior and expression can be passed on from each one to others by imitating and practicing.

(A) exhibit the kind of curiosity so that new patterns of behavior and expression can be passed on from each one to others by imitating and practicing
(B) will exhibit the kind of curiosity so that new patterns of behavior and expression can be passed on from one to another by imitating and practicing
(C) will exhibit the kind of curiosity so that new patterns of behavior and expression can be passed on from each one to another by imitation and practice
(D) exhibit the kind of curiosity by which new patterns of behavior and expression can be passed on from each one to others by imitating and practicing
(E) exhibit the kind of curiosity where new patterns of behavior and expression are passed on to others by imitation and practice

[spoiler]I wanted to know whether or not in E dropping from each one is wrong. In my opinion it is[/spoiler]

I think it is correct to eliminate 'each one' as it creates a redundancy.

E.g.: Please pass on the newspaper to others - correct
Please pass on the newspaper from each one to others - correct but redundant (wrong in GMAT!!!)

but still I am not getting justified with the usage of 'where'. Can someone explain?

IMO it is D. I guess OA is E?

Please take sometime to underline the question, instead of just pasting and posting in the forum
