D should be the OA.

correct idiom is taking pressure off, not pressure from

Re: An adequate resolution of the issue by regulators would take [#permalink]
B, E- change of meaning. modifier issue.

B - means that "corporate governance rules by an adequate resolution of the issue." Are Gov rules by adequate resolution? I dont think so

E - means "corporate governance rules in an adequate resolution of the issue." Are Gov rules in the resolution? I dont think so

C - "from" the congress. OUT

2:3 split. A, D are grouped and B, C and E are together. With B, C and E OUT the other group remains. Hence A, D - split "from / off". That's all gmat wants to check and stay close to the meaning.

D stays close to the original sentence and eliminates the error. D it is.

Btw A and D...the clear difference is:

a) significant pressure from the Congress to address other complaints

D) significant pressure off Congress to address other complaints

D makes the sentence clearer

2 issues here:

1. Take from vs Take off. Correct usage id take off.
2. Who is taking the pressure off congress. It is the "regulation" itself and not the "regulators.

Answer D.

I chose D. It's less word and has a clearer meaning.
