• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

C

Since the two clauses are joined by "being" into a complex sentence, there is no need for a pronoun to refer to the subject in the same sentence, that is, part C should be "is eligible for". Hence, Option C is correct as it refers to the erratic aprt. The rest of the options do not, hence, incorrect.
