SC Question

[gunjan.kapil7]

Hi All,

I need help with below question.

A current psychological theory seeks to explain how children become adept at making excuses, when excuses are symptomatic of a psychological problem, and what personality type is most prone to rely on excuses.

(A) what personality type is most prone to rely
(B) what is the personality type most prone to relying
(C) the personality type most prone to reliance
(D) the type of personality most prone to relying
(E) the type of personality that is most prone to rely

Option B, D & E is out at first look.
Confused between Option C & Option A.

Theory seeks to explain.. .when excuses and what personality. So I opted for A. A is the correct answer. I am not confident about the approach. I want to know if my method of picking option A (and not option C) was correct?

Thanks
Gunjan

HOW and WHAT are parallel (intended meaning) not WHEN and WHAT.

A current psychological theory seeks to explain 2 things -

how children become adept at making excuses

AND

what personality type is most prone to rely on excuses.

when excuses are symptomatic of a psychological problem is a modifier.
