To understand this question in its logical perspective, one needs to appreciate that the shows themselves create the interest by virtue of their sensational nature and therefore people throng to see them. Therefore, it is clear that the shows entice people. Then a demand emerges and the commercial people step in to cash in on the ready-made boom to make easy money. Therefore, the booming market is the end of the chain and not the beginning.
If this tenet is clear, then this can be easily solved. Here the verb has to be plural either -are bringing or a simple present tense bring. It is now the importance of the increasing frequency can be realized. It a frequently changing one means that it is a dynamic factor and an on- going affair. What better way could be there than to describe in a progressive tense—namely, are bringing. Please also note that choice B meticulously abides by the touch rule of relative pronoun. Therefore, B is the best IMO.
Kaplan’ choice of D as the official answer is understandable, considering Kaplan’s fancy for gaining popularity more through controversies than through logic


Hi, I was confused between B and E, why is bringing prefered over bring?

IMO B is the answer
The TV shows are bringing people not the market which is taken as a subject in OA

Hello jatin093,

We hope this finds you well.

The meaning conveyed here is that because there is a market for “reality” television shows, "regular” people are being brought onto the television screen with increasing frequency.

For example, "The country is suffering a drought that is causing the government stress."

We hope this helps.
All the best!

Out of the publics interest in the details of and conflicts in other [#permalink]
Anyone have any idea why the touch rule of relative pronouns should be violated here? Why shouldn't it be B?

My guess is that the concept of the market attracting more people is a causal relationship. The facts are that there is market for reality shows, and that more and more people are being attracted. But there isn't a market for "reality shows that attract more people", rather there is a market for reality shows, and that this market is attracting people. People being attracted shouldn't be a definition of the market itself, rather its a consequence.

This is a completely heuristic/meaning based rationale, however. Is there a grammatical rule that simplifies this or is that the only way to see it?
