Quick solution for this one: we see a lot of switching back and forth between "its" and "their" in the answer choices, where these pronouns refer to "Arcsun" and "Playlite". Arcsun and Playlite (along with other company names) are both singular nouns, so we need to match them with singular pronouns. A and C refer to Arcsun with "their", A, C, and D refer to Arcsun with "them", and A, B, and D refer to Playlite with "their". This leaves E as our only remaining option.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
