It seemed like E to me. What is the source?

[jangojess]

In addition to

you need to have an adverb to describe 'unlimited': seemingly - kill A, B, C

the correct idiom is "targeted..at"

[bmlaud]

E

seemingly -adv
unlimited - adj.
number - noun

Adjectives modify nouns and pronouns. Adverbs modify adjectives, verbs, and other adverbs. The adverb seemingly, not the adjective seeming, should be used to modify the adjective unlimited. The idiomatic form to be used here is targeted . .. at rather than targeted ... to. Logic requires that each antibody is meant to deal individually with an invading microbe or foreign substance.

A The adjective seeming should instead be the adverb seemingly.

B The adjective seeming should instead be the adverb seemingly.

C The adjective seeming should instead be the adverb seemingly; the use of all instead of each does not make sense.

D The use of all instead of each does not make sense.

E Correct. This sentence correctly uses seemingly instead of seeming and each instead of all.

IMO (E).. seemingly is adverb .. should be used.. targeted at .. is correct idiom here.

main subject is Dr To/// discovery

so what he discovered ? and got price ?


body behaviour to anti bodies - unlimited number of antibodies

we need to modify this "unlimited number of antibodies" with adverb and

here

point to note is ALL VS EACH

so discory tells us that Dr talk about INDIVIDUAL so EACH , Option C gone

2/3 splits - AT Vs To - target At so option B/D gone

now left with E / A

IMO - E
