The 32 species that make up the dolphin family are closely related to whales and in fact include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is famous for its aggressive hunting pods.

A. include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is (wrong usage)
B. include the animal known as the killer whale, growing as big as 30 feet long and (incomplete sentence)
C. include the animal known as the killer whale, growing up to 30 feet long and being (awkward structure)
D. include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow as big as 30 feet long and is (correct)
E. include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and it is (awkward structure)

lemme know the OA. Others may comment if I am wrong...

I think it is D:

In D:

Which...refers to the correct antecedent Killer Whale.
As BIG as...is the correct form

Also..after AND...the use of IS completes the sentence

Killer whale (IS) = famous xxxxx



In E: IT refers to what?

In A: To be is not the correct usuage..

"as big as" is redundant ..either we use "long" or we use "as big as "

hence its not D.

i am confused between A and E...i thought E was correct coz "it" clearly refers to killer whale and after the use of conjunction "and" we need an independent clause!!!

A. include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is

> Keep it.

B. include the animal known as the killer whale, growing as big as 30 feet long and

> as big as 30 feet long (awkard)

C. include the animal known as the killer whale, growing up to 30 feet long and being

> being does not make sense here.

D. include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow as big as 30 feet long and is

> same as B.

E. include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and it is

> Killer whale is the subject, 'it' is redundant.

A seems to be making the cut.

Whats the OA?

OA is A
