• A. Wild animals have less total fat than do livestock fed on grain and more of a kind of fat they think is
• B. Wild animals have less total fat than livestock fed on grain and more of a kind of fat thought to be
• C. Wild animals have less total fat than that of livestock fed on grain and have more fat of a kind thought to be
• D. Total fat of wild animals is less than live stock fed on grain and they have more fat of a kind thought to be
• E. Total fat is less in wild animals than that of livestock fed on grain and more of their fat is of a kind they think is

Answer 1

The correct option is B Wild animals have less total fat than livestock fed on grain and more of a kind of fat thought to be

When we read the sentence, we realize that there is something wrong with "...and more of a kind of fat they think is good for cardiac health". Here, it seems as if 'they' refers to the wild animals and this renders the sentence completely illogical. This is because 'they' lacks proper antecedent. This error is rectified without any further mistakes in option B alone. Options A and E repeat the error already mentioned, C lacks a clear comparison in the second half and D makes an illogical comparison of 'total fat' with 'livestock'. Option D also lacks a clear comparison like C. Thus, B is the clear answer with its correct grammar and sound sentence structure.
