[ricky]

IMO E is best answer.

What is OA?

[kiranlegend]

IMO E

[rolodex]

IMO E

"design allows it" (it is referring to the turtle) so b/w C, D, E

C, D out beacuse it does not have "allows it"

[ildude02]

My pick is C. I beleive E is not correct since "so that" is not the correct idiomatic usage, it should be so X that Y.

Hi ildude02,

See the sentence construction.
The tortoise has a design ..... so that attackers wil find nothing but that skull.

more over in option C .. why is the word for used uncessarily??

Please correct me if i am wrong

[Aldiablo]

IMO E.


allow is wrong => A / B gone.

that usage is wrong => conveys different meaning => D gone.

C is wordy (for) , nonparallel (usage of that after 'and'), illogical.

The only reason I didn't pick E was becoz I wasn't sure about the "so that" usage. I know that generally you would use so X that Y, where X and Y are parallel. But maybe we can use use "so that" without clause/phrase in between them.

[vertigo05]

shd be "E"

[n_niaz]

IMO E

have people forgot to put official answers here or what?

[NSNguyen]

the particular design - singular
-> verb singular , eliminate A, B

i go with E
