The Rorschach, test is gaining new respect as a diagnostic tool because it takes only one hour to expose behavior and thought processes that may be unlikely to emerge in other procedures or weeks of ordinary interviewing.

A) that may be unlikely to emerge in other procedures or weeks of ordinary interviewing
B) whose emergence is unlikely in other procedures or weeks of ordinary interviews
C) that might not emerge in other procedures or in weeks of ordinary interviews
D) that may not emerge under other procedures or weeks of ordinary interviews
E) likely not to emerge during weeks of ordinary interviewing or in other procedures

IMO C is better than A in the following ways

1. Look out for parallelism : in other procedures / in weeks

2. might not emerge is worded better than may be unlikely to emerge

3. "interviews" is better than "interviewing"

IMO C

A) that may be unlikely to emerge in other procedures or weeks of ordinary interviewing (parallelism not maintained)

B) whose emergence is unlikely in other procedures or weeks of ordinary interviews (whose modifies thought processes alone and makes it seem as if emergence of though processes is unlikely)

C)that might not emerge in other procedures or in weeks of ordinary interviews (parallelism maintained- correct)
D) that may not emerge under other procedures or weeks of ordinary interviews (emerge under is wrong)
E) likely not to emerge during weeks of ordinary interviewing or in other procedures (parallelism not maintained)
