Option A - Incorrect
This is wrong because of the incorrect usage of 'both'.

Option B - Incorrect
This option is incorrect because it distorts the message the sentence is passing across.

Option C - Correct
This is stylistically preferable in the sense that it conveys the author's idea of who she wants to visit, and it is the only answer completely free of mistakes. This option contrasts 'from which' with 'to which', creating a balance in the sentence.

Option D - Incorrect
In most sentence correction questions, the adverb 'where' is preferably used when the place is where the action is being performed but in this option, the action 'going' is not performed at the place.

Option E - Incorrect
This has an incorrect order of 'wants' and 'both'. The verb 'wants' is the only main verb, so the correct construction should have been 'wants both'.

"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."
