The attorney turned down the law firm’s offer of a position because she suspected that it was meant merely to fill an affirmative action quota with no commitment to minority hiring and eventually promoting.
(A) quota with no commitment to minority hiring and eventually promoting
(B) quota, having no commitment to minority hiring and eventually promoting
(C) quota and did not reflect a commitment to minority hiring and eventual promotion
(D) quota, not reflecting a commitment to minority hiring and eventual promotion
(E) quota, not one that reflected that minority hiring and eventual promotion was a commitment

OA C

well, errors are

1. minority hiring and eventually promoting= X and Y

X must be logically and grammatically parallel, which is certainly not the case. Hiring is a noun while promoting is just a participle.

Eliminate A and B

2. E is passive and wordy

Left with C and D
While I couldnt really find any major error I feel like going with C

In C, quota and did not reflect a commitment to minority hiring and eventual promotion..and is correctly used to join 2 statement related to a common subject

Choice D uses the comma in an inapporpriate way.

Dont split a compound predicate i.e in the sentence above what an offer of a position did and did not do are closely related ideas.

Dont use a comma in this situation. Never use a comma to split a compound subject or a compound predicate

Hence C wins over D.

Hope I am not off here...

Regards,
CR

Between C and D

If you observe carefully...

Here we are talking about the "offer" of the firm...

In D, the clause "not reflecting..." modifies the word "quota".. We want something that modifies "offer" ...

C exactly does that by using proper conjunction.

thanks.

while I may be incorrect, I am not very sure that "not reflecting" modifies quota, I feel like its participal modifying subject of previous clause and not quota
