Let's keep patience in solving this question in a bid to getting the most appropriate response to the question.

In Option A - INCORRECT.
We have a situation where the answer to the question is repeated from the question asked. It is not the most appropriate response.

In Option B - INCORRECT.
Here, there's just a change of word from ''had'' to ''have'' but the *quicker* adjective used here still indicates the same meaning although not logical enough.

In Option C - INCORRECT.
Here, the strategy guidelines has been personalized because it connects the word ''did'' which is an action word here. So, in actual sense it's a comparison between the action words actively participating.

In Option D - INCORRECT
This is a strategic statement that infers that the guidelines have been previously implemented and should now be more than they have been in the past.

In Option E - CORRECT.
The statement here is talking about something that happened in the past because of the use of the participle ''they had been'' which does not flow well.

"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."
