D is incorrect because of modifier error , intended modifying previous noun freeze-drying and says freeze drying intended to increase the shelf life of vaccines, whereas process of freeze-dying do so.
And A is correct because of its intended meaning which is not delivered by other options i.e. freeze-dry process increase shelf life of vaccines and this will lead to remove the need of the cold storage.
Hope you understood that and free to message me.

I too chose D at the first. But later I realised the modifier error in D. Modifier 'intended to increase the shelf life' is modifying 'Freeze drying' , not the process.
Option A clearly shows the intended meaning.

Can someone explain why B is wrong?

Thanks

rishabhmishra · Answer

again intended meaning problem look what option A says it says that freeze-dry process intended to increase the shelf life of vaccines will remove the need for the cold storage so it means that freeze process increases the shelf life of vaccines so we don't need cold storage, where as B says that freeze-dry process, which removes the need for the cold storage, intends to increase the shelf life of vaccines that means freeze dry process removes the need of cold storage and intends to increase the shelf life of vaccines. So it is not showing cause and effect relationship that is why this option is wrong. Secondly look at in B option which removes which is simple present which means that its a universal truth or fact statement and it is not anyone of them.
hope i was able to help you.

A process cannot intend, it can be intended.

kausikS · Answer

I think A cannot be the answer to this SC problem because
"...removes the need for  the  cold storage" - Which means that it removes the need for cold storage itself but the intended meaning is that it removes the need for the cold storage of vaccines

Hi,

Can anyone pls explain why "C" is incorrect since the cause-effect is explained correctly in it.
With this i wanted to ask whether the tense given in question stem CAN NEVER be changed in answer choices and should always be withheld?

How can "A" be the answer since it says -- " the COLD STORAGE itslef can be re,moved" doesn't it twists the intended meaning of the sentence.

Need help...

AjiteshArun · Answer

I agree that option A is not correct. However, neither is option C.

By the way, we don't want to look at  intended  here as a past tense verb (It is a modifier). You could go through point 3 in  this post , which looks at  intended to .
