B in my opinion.
the 'have greatly downsized' needs an 'as...' and will not work with a 'with..'

going with B here is why: A and E are out because to describe "Bethlehem Steel" we need to use a relative pronoun "that" to decide between BCD look at the carcass of the sentence: industry has changed with companies shut down - doesn't make sense, so C out industry has changed while companies shut down - doesn't make sense, so D out industry has changed as companies shut down - makes sense  thus B atletikos wrote: The steel industry has changed radically over the last two decades, as large, integrated companies such as Bethlehem Steel once conducted operations from mining at one end of the process to shipping at the other have greatly downsized, or in some cases shut down altogether.
A. as large, integrated companies such as Bethlehem Steel
B. as large, integrated companies, such as Bethlehem Steel, that
C. with large, integrated companies, such as Bethlehem Steel, that
D. while large, integrated companies, such as Bethlehem Steel, that
E. and large, integrated companies such as Bethlehem Steel

Bethlehem Steel once conducted --> Implied we need one conjunction ..to correct this run on sentence. A &E are out. Among BCD, d) two decades, while large, integrated--> While indicates that there should be change in the direction of the statement. This is not the case here. Hence ruled out. two decades, as large, integrated --> two decades, with large, integrated --> Confused between B&C, but would pick B. As with large .. looks incomplete to me. atletikos wrote: The steel industry has changed radically over the last two decades, as large, integrated

Hi .. I would go with A.
Because . That is not appropriate since we are using have in the non-underlined part, And also demonstrative pronoun is not mandatory to be used. So A wins.
Let me know if i was correct. Pls post the OA soon.

",that" construction sounds very bad for me, since it is a essential modifier. If it were ",which" I would like it more. Please some thoughts on this. Thanks.

atletikos wrote: OA is B What is the source of this question? If B is the OA how can this sentence be correct? The steel industry has changed radically over the last two decades,[highlight]as large, integrated companies, such as Bethlehem Steel, that[/highlight] once conducted operations from mining at one end of the process to shipping at the other have greatly downsized, or in some cases shut down altogether. remove the fluff "such as Bethlehem Steel " The steel industry has changed radically over the last two decades,[highlight]as large, integrated companies, , that[/highlight] once conducted operations from mining at one end of the process to shipping at the other have greatly downsized, or in some cases shut down altogether. - Is "that" correct in the above sentence? Also "Have" corresponds to "companies" . See the flaw?
