Because moisture exhaled by tourists had risen the humidity within
them to such levels that salt from the stone was crystallizing.
Expanded;
Because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised the humidity within (them)
tourists to such levels that salt from the stone was crystallizing.

chambersGMAT SC is about form as well as meaning
