My 2 cents on this question.
I think this question is from
OG.
By choosing glass apartments towering a hundred feet over brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuated their luxury-laden lives.
a)
By choosing glass apartments
towering a hundred feet over brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic
that accentuated >>> By choosing is correct; towering 100 ft over brownstone... is not the intended meaning of the sentece. The sentence intends to compare glass apt in 100ft buildings to brownstone units, where as the construct indicates that glass apts are 100 meter taller than brown units. "that accentuated" is improper tense. The verb should be in present tense , since the 1st part is in present perfect.
b) By choosing glass apartments
towering a hundred feet over brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seeming younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuates
c)
In choosing glass apartments in hundred-foot towers instead of brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that
accentuates >>> No difference between "by choosing" and "in choosing" this is a trick. This statement is correct.
d) In choosing glass apartments in hundred-foot towers instead of brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic
that accentuated >>> Wrong tense as explained in option A.
e) In choosing glass apartments
towering a hundred feet over brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seeming younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic,
accentuating >>> towering 100 ft over... is wrong(same as option A). Use of accentuating as an adverbial modifier changes the meaning.
