Logical predication; Rhetorical construction
The sentence is about what happens to people's memories when people don't get enough sleep. The sentence needs to clarify that it is people who need sleep, not their skills or the information they absorb. A. The opening modifier Without adequate amounts of sleep illogically describes people's skills, rather than people. In addition, this use of and also is awkwardly redundant.
B. The terms adequate and they need are redundant; the opening modifier still describes skills, as in sentence A. The pronoun they nonsensically refers to skills rather than the possessive people's.
C. The pronoun they nonsensically refers to skills rather than the possessive people's.
D. Correct. By inserting the noun people as the subject of the main verb do . . . get, the sentence clarifies that people rather than skills are without sleep; skills then becomes the subject of the second verb may. . . get.
E. The terms adequate and they need are redundant, as is the phrase and also. The correct answer is D.
