little difference in meaning...but there is a difference in how we use it...

1. Y happened resulting from X happening

2. X happened. as a result , y happened

"As a result " is generally "Set off" by a comma in its usage

As a result, the 49ers had to play without their regular quarter back.

The 49ers , as a result, had to play without their regular quarter back.

we cant really use "resulting from" here...

i think here B is the best answer

thanks

I think C is the best choice.
"increased carbon dioxide resulting from X" is not correct. It should be "increased level of carbon dioxide resulting from X". Since it is expected that cooling would occur in future we should use present continious sentence. If simple past is used then it should be cooling the globe by now.

Think B is the answer.

Dont think that increased CO2, or increased "level" of CO2 makes any diff in the paragraph.

In GMAT, I have seldom seen 2 "-ing" in the same sentence.

chihao, are you sleeping? people crave for an answer... :-D
meanwhile, i think, the answer is e. c and d do not fit with would. a and b comparing with e are wordy...

Go with B.

"increased atmospheric carbon dioxide" is the most concise rather than
"carbon dioxide in the atmosphere" - C
"carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that increase" - D
"atmospheric carbon dioxide that increased "- E

Btwn A and B, "resulting" goes with "would".

Official ans ?
