Posted the correct question;

A - PAY regular mail rates and MAY BE shipping (ACTIVE ...PASSIVE); such combination of active and passive not required

C- WHO wrongly used for non-human; (2) so affordable and it often must (parts connected thro AND are not parallel

D - use of PAYS incorrect (when subject is "retailers and websites")

I do not find any problem btn B and E - but WHICH is used (generally) for non-essential modifiers and therefore prefer E. Side note: OG12 does not recongnize distinction btn WHICH and THAT for non-essential modifiers

IMO E

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
