"...picked from his garden" is follwed by "in a vase" which implies that "garden in a vase". Hence incorrect construction

A, D & E are out

B implies is wordy and awkward.

C is the best choice

Hence answer is C

Khurram,
As i understand, we all use the website not just to learn but practice also.
So 2 requests to you /
1. Always underline the part of the sentence to be corrected.
2. Dont mention the OA in the first post itself or if you do, pls mark it as black ..so that it is not visible...

Usually human eyes are not master in reading only the first few lines and skipping the others ..whatever comes in span is read .. and knowing the answer doesnt helps in making a honest attempt ..!

Thanks
Airan

D is wrong because
To make our sentence correct with "during," we'd need to add some information that would identify which two decade-period we are talking about.Eg:Even though its per capita food supply hardly increased during the two decades between 1940
and 1960...
I hope it clears your doubts regarding D

"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."
