As rainfall began to decrease

by sumidi » Wed Oct 29, 2008 10:57 pm
I am assuming this has been asked before, but i could not find it. So here is a fun SC.

As rainfall began to decrease in the Southwest about the middle of the twelfth century, most of the Monument Valley Anasazi abandoned their homes to join other clans whose access to water was less limited.

A. whose access to water was less limited
B. where there was access to water that was less limited
C. where they had less limited water access
D. with less limitations on water access
E. having less limitations to water access

I was stuck choosing between D and A and in the end went for concision, which is incorrect.

OA is A

The trick was that limitations is a countable quantity.DOh!
