My Pick would be E. >> parallelism and unnecessary modifiers are not present.

I chose B... Experts believe that senior citizens whose families have a predisposition to cardiovascular diseases are more likely...

that was my rationale
My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

Source ??

Experts believe that senior citizens with higher than average cholesterol with a predisposition to cardiovascular diseases running in the family are more likely to die at an age below that of their life expectancy.

E. with a predisposition to cardiovascular diseases running in the family.

When option E is present in the underlined part, it means as though

EXPERTS BELIEVE... WITH A PREDISPOSITION...

WITH presence makes the sentence nonsensical

My share of thought:

The use of "whose families" after "average cholesterol" seemed ambiguous to me, thats why I chose E.

E could be right if we add "and"

Experts believe that senior citizens with higher than average cholesterol AND with a predisposition to cardiovascular diseases running in the family are more likely to die at an age below that of their life expectancy.

without "AND" the sentence seems not connecting...in the presence of two "with"


experts, do you agree with above?

A. same.
B. whose families have a predisposition to cardiovascular diseases
C. and a predisposition to cardiovascular diseases runs in the family.
D. whose families have a predisposition to cardiovascular diseases running in them
E. with a predisposition to cardiovascular diseases running in the family.

OA later
IMO B.
IN B whose refers to senior citizens correctly and it is the most concise answer.
The problem that I think with E is the use of "with" might refer back to average cholesterol which will render the sentence useless.
