SC - Parallel, Wordiness, Meaning

by karthikpandian19 » Mon Jun 18, 2012 12:08 am
Lacking information about proper weight management, people tend to overestimate the importance of exercise, such as interval-sprints, that are cardiovascular and can increase heart rate and metabolism and underestimate that of isometric exercise, such as squat-thrusts.


(A) exercise, such as interval-sprints, that are cardiovascular and can increase heart rate and metabolism and underestimate that

(B) exercise, such as interval-sprints, that are cardiovascular and can increase heart rate and metabolism and underestimate it when it is

(C) exercise, such as interval-sprints, that is cardiovascular and can increase heart rate and metabolism and underestimate it when it is

(D) cardiovascular exercise, such as interval-sprints, that can increase heart rate and metabolism and underestimate it when it is

(E) cardiovascular exercise, such as interval-sprints, that can increase heart rate and metabolism and underestimate that

IMO E.

The issue tests the parallelism. 'cardiovascular exercise' is parallel to 'isometric exercise'.
And also, ' cardiovascular exercise, such as interval-sprints' matches the pattern of 'isometric exercise, such as squat-thrusts'

three ANDs in A, and two ITs in B,C,D make the respective sentences awkward.
