1. In A and B, Is during an ing modifier?
It's not. "During" is a preposition, meaning "within the timeframe of..."
Quote:
2. Also, Can you please explain usage of "such that", and why its wrong here?
I'm seeing this for the first time in Gmat.
Thanks.
I'm seeing this for the first time in Gmat.
Thanks.
If "such ... that ..." is used correctly, it will almost certainly occur as
such NOUN that [complete sentence]
...with the intended meaning that this NOUN is extreme relative to most others. (The NOUN may have modifiers attached to it, especially adjectives before it.)
E.g.,
The new light rail system has been such a massive failure that traffic on the surrounding roads has not decreased at all.
I can't immediately come up with a correct sentence containing "such that" in one piece, other than mathematical phrases (e.g., integers x and y such that x – y is odd)—so you can probably just eliminate choices that have those two words back-to-back with nothing between them.

Logical predication; Rhetorical construction
The sentence explains that the event known as a transit of Venus is an occasion when the outline of the planet is visible. The correct form of the sentence must clarify that the visible outline is a function of this occasion, not the result of some agent’s action.
A. There is no referent for it; to say that the planet Venus makes the outline of the planet visible is nonsensical.
B. Correct. Outline is the appropriate subject for the verb becomes (visible).
C. There is no referent for it. The causal conjunction so is confusing when it immediately follows the appositive phrase an occasion known as a transit of Venus.
D. The string of connecting phrases such that during which is confusing and nonsensical; the relative pronoun which has no referent.
E. The reference of such that is ambiguous when it immediately follows the appositive phrase, an occasion known as a transit of Venus.
The correct answer is B.
