Scoliosis is not an abnormal curvature of the spine rather a condition ........
A, C and E are contenders.
A -> The construction is not parallel
Should be C or E. C seems to be wordy. I choose E.

B should be correct according to the definition of scoliosis. But i am afraid of this type of question that demands us to know the meaning.raunekk wrote:i was not aware wat scoliosis means,,
dictionary meaning:
scoliosis:An abnormal lateral curve to the vertebral column
Thus went for B,,,
wud like to know the OA..

"That" usually refers to immediate pronoun precedent. Here "that" can refer to spine or curvature. I am not sure how to conclude "that" refers to curvature and not spinestop@800 wrote:I think that refers to "an abnormal curvature"gmat009 wrote:When you read B option what is "that" referring to.
