Awesome!! Now whats the answer ?

IMO E

I preferred the usage of such as and people learn individually so "his or her".

B: after "for example" who uses this should be mentioned there I feel.
C: after "as" they use or people use "The woman whistling tunes pianos," is required
D: No problem but "people" is a collective noun I think. "Their" is wrong
E: Left after POE
