The "which" part says "will" so we need present tense and not past in the verb. So, "is staking" is better selection.

In the construct, "one of X that + verb", the verb has to be as per "X"

For example: One of the books that were kept on the table ....

Similarly,

In the constructs, "one of X + Verb", the verb is singular.

For example:

One of my friend is going for a movie.

I was stuck between C & E and selected E based upon below observations

{C} - Surprises are unexepected so saying "unexpected surprises" is redundancy.

Hi Mitch,

In "Neither X nor Y", both X & Y should strictly be only nouns? As you mentioned, they cannot be clauses.

Does the same implies for either X or Y and other such forms?

It is a case of parallelism. The sentence structure is: While selecting a perfume , experts suggest that you select a scent that A and B. The sentence has two part which should be parallel - complements your personality --> not a clause - it works with your skin. --> this is a clause So, both parts ...

We should maintain parallelism while listing various parts of the sentence. Here, "training workshops", "coaching" , "on the job training" are working as Nouns; however, the last part is not a noun. Can you please post the complete question so that we can help you better.
