C . summer many students go away to camps that teach them skills about camaraderie, perseverance and integrity.
D . summer many students go away to summer camps that teach them skills about camaraderie, perseverance and maintaining integrity.

Answer: C

Explanation:

Only choice “summer many students go away to camps that teach them skills about camaraderie, perseverance and integrity” corrects the redundancy error in this sentence of writing “…summer camps…” after already stating that this event occurs “During the summer…” Choice “summer many students go away to summer camps that teach them skills about camaraderie, perseverance and integrity”, “Summer many students go away to summer camps that teach them skills about camaraderie, perseverance and integrity” and “summer many students go away to summer camps that teach them skills about camaraderie, perseverance and maintaining integrity” suffer such redundancy. Choice “summer many students go away to summer camps that teach them skills about camaraderie, perseverance and maintaining integrity” also breaks the list’s parallelism (values such as camaraderie and perseverance that should be followed simply by “integrity”).
