Hi, "waters off" is a wrong usage.It should be "waters of". Let us leave this since it is the same in all the answer choices. We can easily eliminate the answers with conjunction "and". The options left are A,D and E. Option D is awkward - "had generally found" Between A and E, I will choose A because "generally found" is better than "found generally".
Teratomas are unusual forms of cancer because they are composed of tissues such as tooth and bone not normally found in the organ in which the tumor appears. (A) because they are composed of tissues such as tooth and bone (B) because they are composed of tissues like tooth and bone that are (C) because they are composed of tissues, like tooth and bone, tissues (D) in that their composition, tissues such as tooth and bone, is (E) in that they are composed of tissues such as tooth and bone, tissues Here there is a 3-2 split with the Because and iN that and then such as and like .. Like we when we need talk similarity while such as to refer examples.. Also usage of Because is to sound a mere reason while in that talks about teh composition.. so here as it is a mispoaced modifier refrence where sentence means Teratomas are unusual forms of cancer , and they are are compsosed of tissues not found generally......E is wright option..
It is well known in the supermarket industry that how items are placed on shelves and the frequency of inventory turnovers can be crucial to profits (A) the frequency of inventory turnovers can be (B) the frequency of inventory turnovers is often (C) the frequency with which the inventory turns over is often (D) how frequently is the inventory turned over are often (E) how frequently the inventory turns over can be
The answer is E. Its a direct case of violation of the parallelism rule. How items.... should be logically connected with how frequently... In D, we have the 'how..' but the ending is messed up. It goes into a different tense. E puts it correctly. Am i right??

I don't get this.
What is 'turns' parallel with? Shouldn't 'turned' be parallel with 'placed'?

Simple way to look at parallel structure when using AND is evaluate both the items Separately.
First part of the sentence. It is well known in the supermarket industry that how items are placed on shelves is crucial to profits． Second Part of the sentence: Using option D: It is well known in the supermarket industry that how frequently is the inventory turned over is often crucial to profits． Doesnt sound good... Using Option E: It is well known in the supermarket industry that how frequently the inventory turns over can be crucial to profits． Looks Perfect.
Another difference is D introduces OFTEN. Intended meaning of the sentence is CAN BE. Hence there is a shift in meaning also in D.

Hope this helps!!
I think I missed the 'often'. The parallel construction also makes sense actually. Thanks
