This is an interesting one.
We actually changed "shortened" to "fewer" in our materials and now the answer is definitively E.

B) is the only answer which is parallel and which uses proper verb tenses. As maiahoji mentioned, it is true that at first glance, B sounds a bit wordy. However, it is the only grammatically correct answer choice. The sentence would also be grammatically correct if it read, "Due to the fact tha...

The creators of the original GMAT algorithm designed our tests and are on our staff. And yes, 740 is an excellent score! Let me know if you have any other question...

Thanks for your interest in Knewton.
We do not currently offer the CATs separately from the course, though we are planning to soon.
For now you could enter the free trial and get one CAT free of charge.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Cheers,
Josh
