Confused a lil between A and E as

Distinguish between X and Y and Distinguish X from y both are correct

I go with E

Eg 1: a judge distinguishes between cases apparently similar, but differing in principle

Eg 2: We are enabled to distinguish good from evil, as well as truth from falsehood

distinguishes between X and Y
distinguish X from Y

Correct answer is E

Although "between" and "from" are both correct, I chose B, bc i think that there are two strains of cattle, and CIA chef tried to emphasize that it would be possible to determine precise type of cows "that graze in a meadow"

A - IMO - says that the interpreter, while grazing in a meadow, tries to distingush, using the new sattelite system or wse

what's the OA ?
we are the champions !

Just read this rule

We use “Discriminate X from Y” –for opposite things
We use “Discriminate between X and Y” — for similar things
