1000 Sc's Question 18

by manishankar » Wed Jul 21, 2010 5:02 am
18. A peculiar feature of the embryonic mammalian circulatory system is that in the area of the heart the cells adhere to one another, beating in unison and adopting specialized orientations exclusive of one another.
(A) beating in unison and adopting
(B) they beat in unison while adopting
(C) beat in unison, and adopt
(D) beating in unison yet adopting
(E) even though they beat in unison and adopt

Comments: The correct answer as per the 1000 SC's document is D, however I feel option D disturbs the parallel structure partly formed by the underlined part
Option C seems more appropriate to me

Any thoughts.......

Regards,
Mani
