Investigations of many...

Investigations of many psychologists and anthropologists support the generalization of there being little that is significant difference in the underlying mental processes manifested by people from different culture.

a. same
b. of there being little that is significantly different
c. of little that is significantly different
d. that there is little that is significantly different
e. that there is little of significant differences

answer is d. why not e?

IMO E is wrong because we require there "are" little of differences....

Why because the subject IMO is "little of differences" as per the flip technique of Manhattan....

Little of difference <plural verb> should be followed.

SK, the question and the choices seem butchered. I'm curious about the source of the question. In my humble opinion, this doesn't compare to GMAT stuff.

In that case, I'm totally lost on this question :-). It just seems really awkward.

P.S. If it is from the GMATPrep, please mention that in the subject, as a lot of people don't take the test till a couple of weeks before the actual exam.
