Dude!! Selango has already posted it today (I dont know who posted first though ;))

IMO D

I preferred the usage of such as and people learn individually so "his or her".

A: "which is": sentences are
B: after "for example" who uses this should be mentioned there I feel.
C: after "as" they use or people use "The woman whistling tunes pianos," is required
If the problem is Easy Respect it, if the problem is tough Attack it
