ShubhamA
I agree with you. I too selected options D for the same reason.
Can anyone put some light on that.
Hi
ShubhamA, D can be eliminated for the simple reason that there is no
comma before
which!
Quite a few grammarians consider
which as a
non-essential modifier, and hence, consider it
mandatory that there should be a
comma before
which (in line with how non-essential modifiers work).
While GMAT has not completely endorsed/refuted this view, GMAT does
acknowledge this position of grammarians. In view of this acknowledgement, it is very
unlikely that GMAT would have a correct answer that uses
which as an
essential modifier (in other words, it is very unlikely that GMAT would have a correct answer that does
not have a comma before
which).
p.s. Our book
EducationAisle Sentence Correction Nirvana discusses
modifier issues of "which", their application and examples in significant detail. If you or someone is interested, PM me your email-id; I can mail the corresponding section.
