Option A: Wrong
As usual, the sentence formation is specifically repetitive and unfit for analysis. It does not accommodate the divergent views the writer wishes to get from the reading audience whom should see things differently although drawing the same inference.
Option B: Wrong
Here, a keyword ''halt'' acting as a verb has been nominaized which makes the option grammatically unfit for analysis and consideration of whatever degree. The statement offers little or no meaning at all to the subject matter.
Option C: Wrong
''As well as'' means in addition to, though the resulting verb ''halted'' and ''suspend'' are not in correspondence, one is in its past tense while the other, in its continuous form. How so?
Option D: Wrong
Here, is a classic example of head-words, predicated and objects not in agreement with one another. You can not use ''halt'' in its present verb form whilst using ''suspending'' in its current continuous form. It amounts to abuse of grammatical lexis and structure formation.
Option E: Right
This statement remains the most appropriate in that, all its action words in the sentence are in agreement with each other. The keywords ''halt'' and ''suspend'' are both in their present form. It is the most appropriate, concise and correct of all.
