If that information is removed we haveAccording to economists, inflation is one of the factors.That sentence has fragmented meaning.
The information should not be set off by commas or introduced by
which. [/color]
So far I know, Sentence fragment is something where there is NO independent clause.
According to GMATClub member, generis is one of the senior SC moderators.--> It makes sense, doesn't it?

AsadAbu ,
what is your source, please?Please edit your post and
include the source. A few lines below option (E), please write

AsadAbu , no, standing alone, "one of the factors" does not make sense.
Its meaning is fragmented and incomplete.
I will amend my answer so that you can understand clearly what I meant.
Your analogy does not hold.
Without information about what kind of factor inflation is,
the noun in sentence (B) is too general.
the factors OF WHAT?
"senior SC members" is a particular noun.
The accurate analogy is:
Bunuel is one of the members.Members of what? You added adjectives before "members" to specify the noun.
Option (B) would need something such as
-- one of the recession-indicating factors
Even in that case the meaning of the full assertion about economies generally is lost.
The sentence should not use comma + which.
Alternatively, please, convince me with
well-mannered argument that comma + which is correct and that (B) is correct.
Your official answer, which you listed as A, is wrong.Your source is incorrect about the answer.
"Random Collection" is your source?
That answer will not fly (is not satisfactory). That answer does not help moderators
to decide whether the source is legitimate, unknowingly pirated, or a potential source of copyright violation.
Try again.
What is the source of this question?Either you post the source or the question gets deleted according to GMAT Club rules
because we cannot risk copyright liability.
