I choose this:
(E)few seemed to be struggling

because the English construction is right.

this is a trick question
take notice of the past tense in "seemed"
therefore they "struggled", not "struggling"

i hate the SATs, my school concentrated on those a lot so ive had a lot of practice!
-a.

i think its (e) even thought it says 'seemed' you'd notice that seemed is in the underlined potion of the senetence! Hence, that too maybe wrong. But, then again I'm not enitirely sure, more like 85% sure. Where was this question from?
and even if there was 'fewer' wouldn't that compare two elements. The question has most which is more than two. BUT then again im not sure, just leme know where this question was taken from :biggrin:
