OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Floating above Earth, satellites help transmit information between newspapers and printing sites, information that affects society.
A) printing sites, information that affects
• the appositive is correct
→ the information after the comma correctly expands on the type of information transmitted: it is information that affects society.
→ this kind of modifier is an appositive, and a special kind of appositive at that
→ repeating a word or phrase as is done in this option is called a resumptive modifier
This short article, here, explains resumptive modifiers and gives many good examples. The site is a goldmine.
KEEP
B) printing sites, with information that affects
• the prepositional phrase with information that affects has no clear phrase or idea to attach to.
• alternatively, if we attach the "with" phrase to "satellites," we have absurd meaning: satellites transmit information . . . with information? Wrong.
ELIMINATE B
C) printing sites, the information affects
• this sentence is a comma splice
→ two full clauses cannot be joined by a comma alone; we need [comma + conjunction]
→ to spot comma splices, see whether you can put a period between the sentence and they still make sense. If so, you should not see only a comma separating these sentences.
ELIMINATE C
D) printing sites that affect
• illogical meaning given the structure of the sentence: this option suggests that the newspapers and printing sites affect society
→ that latter fact may be true, but this sentence highlights satellites that float above the earth, transmitting information
→ in other words, the satellite's information affects society, not the newspapers and printing sites
ELIMINATE D
E) printing sites that has affected
• wrong verb
→ use simple present to express general truths (has affected is present perfect)
• modifier placement error
→ in general, noun modifiers should be placed as close as possible to the nouns they modify
→ in this case, that has affected is far away from its noun satellites
ELIMINATE E
The best answer is A.
