Magoosh Official Explanation:
Choice (A): Notice that after the "since" clause, we get a participial phrase, "many … moving abroad." This sentence makes the famous missing verb mistake! (A) is incorrect.
Choice (B) is grammatically correct and clear. This is promising.
Choice (C) is logically suspect. We start by talking about "grandchildren living outside the US" and then go on to say "so many have moved abroad"—wait! If they already were living abroad, how could they move abroad? The people who are already abroad have to be different from those who chose to move abroad, and this choice does not make these two groups clear. (C) is incorrect.
Choice (D) repeats this same logical problem: the "them" seems to refer to the people living abroad, so how could they move abroad? Choice (D) is incorrect.
Choice (E) makes an idiom mistake. The correct idiom is X allows A to do Y, not "X allows A for doing Y." Also, the antecedent of the pronoun "which" is an action, which is not a legitimate antecedent for a pronoun. Choice (E) is incorrect.
The only possible answer is (B).
