A & B have improved C, while they have D...

So, A & B does 2 things one of which is C and the other is D.

If you have got it down to A and D, then A arriving at A shouldn't be a problem. Especially is the right word here. Why ? Because when you want to describe something as an outstandingly good in that aspect, especially is the word.

Here is why I thought that for 117, choice E was the best. We have to establish a link between the mouflon sheep and sheep 8000 years ago. What if there has been a climate change in the island and the sheep evolved with it. Then the present day descendants will look nothing like thier ancestors. Als...
