The Rorschzch test is gaining new repeat as a diagnostic tool because it takes only one hour to expose behavior and thought processes that may be unlikely to emerge in other procedures or weeks of ordinary interviewing.

A.
B. whose emergence is unlikely in other procedures or weeks of ordinary interviews
C. that might not emerge in other procedures or in weeks of ordinary interviewing
D. that may not emerge under other procedures or weeks of ordinary interviewing
E. unlikely not to emerge during weeks of ordinary interviewing or in other procedures

Any one can help explain the differences between may and might?

I dont think there is a split b/w might and may... however, i would like to know the reasons if there is 1....

between C&D, C is a better option because it maintains parallelism - in other procedures or in weeks while D doesn't do that.... wats the OA..

imo C

I think may and might can be used interchangeably

But what's wrong in B is, that "under other procedures" (beause of under) seems incorrect, and parallelism is better in C.

I dont think this question is testing may vs might.
Good question though.
