E) Needless to say the coach expects a total effort from each of the players in today's championship game.
IMO C

A , B , D - not comfortable with the usage of which. which should be preceded by ','.

Between C and E , C looks better

not sure though - does the usage of total instead of the "one-hundred-and-twenty percent ' change the meaning of sentence?

coach expects.....determined has a tense error. therefore A,B and D are out.

Now we are left with C and E.

C omits Needless to say (???), therefore I would answer E.

whats the OA?

OA is C. I thought we shouldn't neglect "one-hundred-and-twenty percent".

we dont neglect "one hundred and twenty percent".

coach expects.....is present tense
determined....is past tense

I guess E is get eliminated due to "It is needless to say" should have "that"
proceeding it.
