Can someone explain me how A is wrong and though changing the meaning E is right. ?
My go through:
After it became clear ... had been violating something(Continuous action at that time when it became clear) , The practice declared unconstitutional. Since - after is present I think requirement of "had" before become has become optional.
What is wrong with my approach . daagh GMATNinja Abhishek009 Nevernevergiveup .
Thank you.
