When is used with time, so eliminate A, D & E.
such as is used to give examples, so eliminate B.
C is the answer.

The two main aspects that are tested here are 1. Concision 2. The phrase "when at a time with supplies" A. Ignore for the time being in search of a better option B. "at a time such as" is incorrect usage because the phrase such as is unnecessary when talking about time C. Looks grammatically correct with a concise start and the right usage of "at a time when supplies are" D. The problem here again is the phrase "at a time with supplies already tight"... The correct preposition to be used with time is when E. "Of possibly damaging" is a very vague sentence.. who is damaging the crop here? It is not properly structured So, the correct answer is C Sent from my Lenovo K50a40 using GMAT Club Forum mobile app

A. that there could be damage to the world’s largest crop when at a time with supplies
B. that the world’s largest crop could be damaged at a time such as when supplies are
C. that the world’s largest crop could be damaged at a time when supplies are
D. of the world’s largest crop possibly being damaged at a time with supplies
E. of possibly damaging the world’s largest crop at a time that supplies were very hard problem. in b, " a time such as when..." is grammatical because "when clause" can work as noun in addition to adverb or adjective. but this meaning is different from that in c. compare he can be happy at any time such as when his wife come or when his wife leave. this is meaning is B. this meaning is not logic in B. " crop could be damaged at any time" is not logic meaning in C is logic. "crop can be damage when supplies are tight.

naval2272 wrote: Should 'C' not say - "...when supplies were"? Sent from my Nexus 5 using GMAT Club Forum mobile appHi naval2272 , No, it says crop could be damaged. When? When the supplies are ... So, it is talking about something that could happen in the present or future. Hence, 'are' is used correctly here. Consider this example: My gym trainer raised concern yesterday that I could get hurt if I do 1000 squats in one day.  Here, although he raised concern yesterday, the hurting could happen anytime in present or future. I hope that makes sense.

The GMAT book also suggests that “the preposition ‘of’ after ‘concern’ is an incorrect construction”
I think that ‘concern about’ could be alternative for ‘concern that’.
Note: ‘concern of’ is expressing possessive case and not always incorrect!
Concern of the teacher
Concern of someone

Coffee prices rose sharply Monday, posting their biggest one-day gain in almost three years, after a weekend cold snap in Brazil raised concern that there could be damage to the world’s largest crop when at a time with supplies already tight. A. that there could be damage to the world’s largest crop when at a time with supplies - modifier (with supplies) seems to suggest that the concern surfaced at a particular kind of time – a time that was with limited supplies. B. that the world’s largest crop could be damaged at a time such as when supplies are - Use of the idiom such as is incorrect because such as is used to present examples and from the context of the sentence it is clear that the sentence merely intends to explain a situation and does not intend to present any example. C. that the world’s largest crop could be damaged at a time when supplies are - Correct D. of the world’s largest crop possibly being damaged at a time with supplies - Use of expression concern of the world’s largest crop is erroneous because this expression means that the concern belongs to the world’s largest crop. E. of possibly damaging the world’s largest crop at a time that supplies were - Use of relative pronoun modifier that to refer to time is incorrect ; we need that after concern Answer C

Hi all..I'm still not following why the verb after "that supplies" should be "are" instead of "were". I thought the usage of "could" here indicated that this was a second conditional and thus needed the past tense form. Can someone explain?
