Hi,
In the following Sentence,
138.As sales of cars and light trucks made in North America were declining 13.6 percent in late February, many analysts conclude that evidence of a recovering automotive market remains slight.
(A) As sales of cars and light trucks made in North America were declining 13.6 percent in late February, many analysts conclude
(B) Since sales of cars and light trucks made in North America declined 13.6 percent in late February, and many analysts conclude
(C) With sales of cars and light trucks made in North America declining 13.6 percent in late February, with many analysts concluding
(D) Because sales of cars and light trucks made in North America declined 13.6 percent in late February, many analysts concluded
(E) Because of sales of cars and light trucks made in North America declining 13.6 percent in late February, therefore, many analysts concluded
i believe that correct answer be A as evrything is in present tense especially last words in the last sentence 'remains'?

I lean to D.
Because sales of cars and light trucks made in North America declined 13.6 percent in late February, many analysts concluded
the blue part is the key.

(A) As sales of cars and light trucks made in North America were declining 13.6 percent in late February, many analysts conclude
- present participal declining not desired.
(B) Since sales of cars and light trucks made in North America declined 13.6 percent in late February, and many analysts conclude
- 'and' before analysts is wrong. it makes the conclusion a part of the sales statistics
(C) With sales of cars and light trucks made in North America declining 13.6 percent in late February, with many analysts concluding
- 'with many analysts' makes the sentence disjointed and awkward sounding
(D) Because sales of cars and light trucks made in North America declined 13.6 percent in late February, many analysts concluded
(E) Because of sales of cars and light trucks made in North America declining 13.6 percent in late February, therefore, many analysts concluded
- lenthgy, and use of 'declining' is not preferred (progresive tense should be used only when emphasis on ongoing nature is required)
D it is.

should be D.
B,C and E are out. A is also out because of tense problem. dependent clause is in pp where as independent clause is in present form.
both clauses in D are in the same tense.
