Gall's hypothesis of there being different mental functions localized in different parts of the brain is widely
accepted today.
(A) of there being different mental functions localized in different parts of the brain is widely accepted today
(B) of different mental functions that are localized in different parts of the brain is widely accepted today
(C) that different mental functions are localized in different parts of the brain is widely accepted today
(D) which is that there are different mental functions localized in different parts of the brain is widely
accepted today
(E) which is widely accepted today is that there are different mental functions localized in different parts of
the brain

OA is C. Why are A & B incorrect? They don't sound right, but whats the grammatical reason behind their omission.

Hi moadhia,

I think B is incorrect because it is saying that there is a hypothesis of mental functions instead of a hypothesis of their existence -- it doesn't make any sense! A is overly wordy and awkward compared to C.

(A) is wrong because it has awkward and wordy construction. Remember in 99% of cases, usage of BEING in GMAT is always wrong.

(B) is wrong because it means that hypothesis localized in different parts brains. Where as hypothesis is not localized in different parts of brain,

So THAT should comes after the word about which it is talking about. We are explaining the hypothesis, so THAT should comes after it.

Hence go for (C).[/b]

"hypothesis that" is the correct idiom, as far as I know.
