I reproduce what the Manhattan link has in its print. You may see that the answer choices are not the same, as has been claimed. Answer choice C in Manhattan is the same as answer choice E in gmatclub
A
Quote:
n economic recession can result from a lowering of employment rates triggered by a drop in investment, which causes people to cut consumer spending and starts a cycle of layoffs leading back to even lower employment rates.
a. a lowering of employment rates triggered by a drop in investment, which causes people to cut consumer spending and start a cycle of layoffs leading back to even lower employment rates.
b a lowering of employment rates triggered by dropping investment, which cause people to cut consumer spending and starts a cycle of layoffs leading back to even lower employment rates.
c. falling employment rates triggered by a drop in investment, causing cutbacks in consumer spending and starting a cycle of layoffs that lead to even lower employment rates.
d. falling employment rates that are triggered by a drop in investment, causing people to cut consumer spending and starting a cycle of layoffs that lead back to even lower employment rates.
e. falling employment rates that are triggered by a drop in investment, that cause cutbacks in consumer spending and the start of a cycle of layoffs leading to even lower employment rates.
Let's compare the choices
Manhattan C
c. falling employment rates triggered by a drop in investment,
causing cutbacks in consumer spending and starting a cycle of layoffs that lead to even lower employment rates
gmatclub E
falling employment rates that are triggered by a drop in investment,
causing cutbacks in consumer spending and starting a cycle of layoffs leading to even lower employment rates
gmatclub C
falling employment rates triggered by a drop in investment,
which cause cutbacks in consumer spending, starting a cycle of layoffs that lead to even lower employment rates.
You may appreciate that the choices are significantly different from each other of both forums ; The gmatclub e is the verbatim ditto of Manhattan C. The correct answer in Manhattan is C. and therefore the same version that is the gmatclub should be right answer , because there is no change in the stimulus.
2. Yes, in certain situations the relative pronoun ‘which’ may refer to a distant noun other than what it touches; Those situations must be thoroughly understood, before resorting to them at will. I might accentuate that this thread is not the one that has those conditions and therefore unfit to apply those exemptions.
Hope I am clear
