THAT vs WHICH

[GmatKiss]

Thanks to medical research, many diseases which might have been fatal at one time are now easily prevented by childhood vaccines.


A. which might have been fatal at one time are now easily prevented by childhood vaccines

B. that might have been fatal at one time are now easily prevented for childhood vaccines

C. which might at one time have been fatal without childhood vaccines

D. that might have been fatal at one time are now easily prevented by childhood vaccines

E. which might, without the current prevention by childhood vaccines, have been fatal


OA after sometime!

D. that might have been fatal at one time are now easily prevented by childhood vaccines

E. which might, without the current prevention by childhood vaccines, have been fatal


OA after sometime!

IMO option D

Which is out because the information is a necessary part of the main sentence .. We are talking about specific diseases and not about diseases in general.

We need Prevented by and not prevented for.

So that's my choice.

GK, please share the OA as well (off-course with spoiler ON)

was it aimed at me! When have you seen me revealing answers without a spoiler.
I do it only for questions which are discussed fairly.

And pls post these advices to people, who post OA's first without a spoiler and then come up with the question. OK??
