Born in Calcutta in 1940

author Bharati Mukherjee became a United States citizen in 1988

this was quite easy.
all other options except C look absurd .
A=>chronologically incorrect.mixture of tenses.
B=>first pronoun,after that noun....
D=>being born???
E=>having been born???

option (C)

roughly similar...like i concluded that it and they/theirs cant go together...

OA is E

Army is singular .......option A,B,C,D all has either "they" or "their" ...so all are eliminated

@vivekkahn
you got it correct .....good hit.

what was your logic ? please share if you applied something else .

A) When an active tooth in the shark's jaws is lost or worn down, many
spare teeth lie in seemingly limitless reserve, each of which are {is} ready to
slide into the appropriate position.

B) Whenever an active tooth is lost or worn down, many spare teeth lie in
seemingly limitless reserve in the shark's jaws, which are each ready to

C) Many spare teeth lie in seemingly limitless reserve in the shark's

E) In the shark's jaws, many spare teeth lie in seemingly limitless
reserve, each one ready to slide into the appropriate position whenever an
active tooth is lost or worn down.

My take is again E...
A,B & C are ruled as each makes it singular, so it shud be is and are...
D again is grammatically wrong as it shud start with 'There are many...'

OA to follow

in A,"each of which is ready",should be present
in B,"which are each ready",sound incorrect.
in C "each one of which are ready" seems inappropriate.
in D,"The many spare teeth lying",sounds incorrect.

E looks perfect.

my take
option (E)
