(E)        genuine manic-depressive psychosis and mood swings, which may be violent without being grounded in mental disease

The best choice is C because it uses the idiomatically correct expression distinguishes between x and y and because it provides a structure in which the relative clause beginning which may be violent clearly modifies mood swings. The other choices use distinguishes in unidiomatic constructions. Additionally, their in A is intrusive and unnecessary, and the modifier of mood swings in B and D (perhaps violent) is awkward and less clear than the more developed clause which may be violent.

16. Unlike a typical automobile loan, which requires a fifteen- to twenty-percent down payment, the lease-loan buyer is not required to make an initial deposit on the new vehicle.

(A)        the lease-loan buyer is not required to make

(B)        with lease-loan buying there is no requirement of

(C)        lease-loan buyers are not required to make

(D)        for the lease-loan buyer there is no requirement of

(E)        a lease-loan does not require the buyer to make

Choice E, the best answer, correctly uses a parallel construction to draw a logical comparison: Unlike a typical automobile loan,... a lease-loan.... Choice A illogically compares an automobile loan, an inanimate thing, with a lease-loan buyer, a person. In choice C, buyers makes the comparison inconsistent in number as well as illogical. Choices B and D are syntactically and logically flawed because each attempts to compare the noun loan and a prepositional phrase: with lease-loan buying in B and/or the lease-loan buyer in D. Choices B and D are also imprecise and awkward. Finally, choice E is the only option that supplies an active verb form, does not require, to parallel requires.
