SAT Writing Help

<p>Many changes occured while she was president of the college, and they increased its educational quality as well as effectiveness.</p>

<p>D) college; these changes increased its educational quality and effectiveness
E) college; these changes increased both the educational quality and effectiveness of the college</p>

<p>I thought the answer was D but it is E. Why wouldn't D work? D sounds perfectly fine. And isn't COLLEGE redundant in choice E? Why repeat it when you can say "its"</p>

<p>in D ,‘‘it’’ sounds awkward .It is not clear if it refers to the ‘‘president’’ or to the ‘‘college’’</p>
