Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The relative clause 'that occured' modifies children. Choice A incorrectly introduces the when...phrase with occuring, thus illogically making divorce the grammatical referent of 'when a child'. C is incomplete. Choice E illogically compares the plural form of “men and women” and “as each was a child”. Choice D is grammatically and logically correct.
