The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, a test developed in

To speak to TS's very particular question:

I'd like nothing more than to point out an error in somebody else's materials, but this Kaplan question is perfectly fine. Sometimes, even in Standard Written English, "and" can mean "and so." Does this happen on the GMAT? Well, I've never surveyed for just that usage, but I would guess so.

TS is right, of course, to consider meaning. GMAT SC has always included some wrong answers that are grammatically correct, but which distort the meaning of the sentence, and such wrong answers have become more common over the last couple of years. Still, grammar first. You seem to recognize that every answer except B has serious grammatical problems, so the fine point about meaning shouldn't even come up in this problem.

Can anyone explain why B is correct answer. There is no relationship between "has been attacked" and "being revised".

Hi ranjeet75,

Imo

Let's restate B :
The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, a test developed in the 1930s to assess character, attitudes, and behavior, has recently been attacked as dated and culturally biased and is finally being revised.

The use of present perfect for has been attacked here is Correct :This is an action happened at an unspecified time before now regardind the sense of the phrase

From the original sentence : The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, a test developed in the 1930s to assess character, attitudes, and behavior, is finally being revised, after many attacks recently as dated and culturally biased.

is finally being revised is correct also because maybe the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory is currently under revision ( we don't know if this action happened and ended in the past or no )

Basically the meaning suggests us because the test is old and no longer update is attacked

A is incoorect because suggests that the test was revise due to the attack

C for receiving much recent attack is wrong for similar reason

D was finally revised recently is a situation that is in course of action instead was suggestssomething that is completely gone, passed away

E is finally to be is ackward

B states something that is happened and now an action in course. basically B use two correct time frame thanks to the verbe usage

From the question stem it is not clear whether the action is in present time or has happened. Then how can we choose from the option where meaning is getting changed with every option.
Also, why (B) is correct? Why usage of "Being" is correct here. Can someone explain please.
