Human brain - Sentence Correction

[sri_wcupa]

Hello,

Can you please tell me if the reasoning that I am following here for eliminating the wrong answer choices is correct:

With brains shaped by evolution to respond primarily to immediate physical peril, individual human beings often ignore or underestimate the gravity of more nebulous threats, such as climate change, yet are no less menacing.


Answer choices are:

A) individual human beings often ignore or underestimate the gravity of more nebulous threats, such as climate change, yet are no less menacing

B) individual human beings are prone to ignore, or else to underestimate, the gravity of more nebulous yet no less menacing threats, such as climate change

C) individual human beings, often ignoring or underestimating the gravity of more nebulous threats, such as climate change, are no less menacing

D) the gravity of threats, such as climate change, that are more nebulous yet no less menacing are often ignored, or else underestimated, by individual human beings

E) the gravity of more nebulous threats, such as climate change, are no less menacing, yet are often ignored or underestimated by individual human beings


OA: B

I tried to eliminate the wrong answers as follows:

A is wrong because of "yet are no less menacing"

C is wrong because "individual human beings ... are no less menacing" is wrong.

D and E are wrong because the underlined portion cannot begin with "the gravity of more nebulous threats" instead has to have "individual human beings"

B is correct because the underlined portion begins with "individual human beings...."


Thanks for your help,
Sri
