I was debating between D and E and ultimately chose E. Why is D the correct answer and not E?
If we strip the sentence down:
D) Recent efforts have improved x, y, z while reducing x, y, z
E) Recent efforts have improved x, y, z, and reduced x, y, z
-Improved and reduced are parallel verb tenses. So I picked E
-But grammatically, I think you can also say improved, while -ing
-But I went with the same verb tense
-Is there a rule that I can learn more about this?
