The Limon Dance Company believes that, since the death of Jose Limon in 1972, they have and will faithfully continue to present the shared artistic vision of Limon and his mentor and collaborator Doris Humphrey.

(A) they have and will faithfully continue to present the shared artistic vision of Limon and his mentor and collaborator Doris Humphrey

(B) they have and will continue to present faithfully Limon and his mentor and collaborator Doris Humphrey's shared artistic vision

(C) it has presented and will continue to present faithfully the shared artistic vision of Limon and his mentor and collaborator Doris Humphrey

(D) it has faithfully been continuing to present the shared artistic vision that Limon and his mentor and collaborator Doris Humphrey shared

(E) it will continue to present faithfully the shared artistic vision of Limon and his mentor and collaborator Doris Humphrey,

Even though this question is a repeat (https://www.beatthegmat.com/limon-dance-t50188.html), this time it has slightly different answer choices
OA as per Kaplan isE. However I think it should be C as it has fixed the issues pointed in the previous discussion. Can someone explain?

When using the phrase "continue to do something", we automatically assume that we are doing, or at least, have/had done that thing in the past. And now, we will keep doing it. Thus, the use of present perfect here is redundant.

Hence, E must be chosen for its most compact construction : "it will continue to present faithfully"
"There is nothing either good or bad - but thinking makes it so" - Shakespeare.

I think first spit is 'it' and 'they'
it wins because company is singular entity
down to C,D,E
One reason C is wrong in addition to above i guess
GMAT always donot like repeatation like that
it has presented and will continue to present
redundancy and wordy (you must have seen lots of explanation in OG)
So it is not only being gramatically correct but thinking as per laws of gmat land.

Now between D and E
D is wordy
moreover if we read the original sentence 'will' sound better as it doesnt change the meaning of original sentence and makes things more clear.

Only thing to be careful about was to make either it was vision of '2' only or all 3
in this case it seems to be vision shared by all 3(as per original sentence,D and E)

thanks

IMO E could not be correct. The original sentence introduces the adverb for time 'since' so present perfect is a perfect fit here; the meaning of the sentence indicates that something happened in the past and continues right now (and will continue in future).

IMO, C is the correct answer.

i agree to some extent but in this case
i think c is wordy
and the word 'continue' means something was being done in the past,which is clear in E as well and it is more economical as well
it will be just like saying 'i will RETURN BACK on ....' if we take C

Thanks

I agree with ikaplan that (C) is the correct answer.

The sentence starts with "Since..." and refers to some singular event which happened in 1972 (i.e. definitively in the past). On that basis alone, the corrected sentence should refer to something the Dance Company has done in the period between 1972 and the present day - hence, presented. This could be sufficient, but it's not incorrect to add that the Dance Company believes that it will share the artistic vision in the future as well - hence, will continue to present.

At the very least, however, some reference needs to be made to the timeframe between 1972 and present-day, because of the term "Since....in 1972".
I'm really old, but I'll never be too old to become more educated.
