By absorbing the nutrition from the new leaves of the margosa tree, root growth is hampered by the agelbop, causing the edge of leaves to weaken from stiff to loose and droop down earlier than usual.

POE:
Modifier error - root growth is not absorbing nutrition. Eliminate (A),(B).
Eliminate (C), (E) - not parallel.


(A) root growth is hampered by the agelbop, causing the edge of leaves to weaken from stiff to loose and droop down

(B) root growth is hampered by the woolly agelbop, and this causes the edge of leaves points to weaken from stiff to loose , and their drooping down

(C) the woolly agelbop hampered root growth, which causes the edge of leaves to weaken from stiff to loose, and drooping down

(D) the woolly agelbop hampered root growth, causing the edge of leaves to weaken from stiff to loose and to droop down - CORRECT

(E) the woolly agelbop hampered root growth, and this causes the edge of leaves to weaken from stiff to loose, and their drooping down

Original Source: Practice Pill Platform

(A) root growth is hampered by the agelbop, causing the edge of leaves to weaken from stiff to loose and droop down - Incorrect

By absorbing the nutrition from the new leaves of the margosa tree - what absorbs the nutrition, not the root, its Agelbop which absorbs the nutrition- Modifier error

(B) root growth is hampered by the woolly agelbop, and this causes the edge of leaves points to weaken from stiff to loose , and their drooping down - Same error as stated above - OUT

(C) the woolly agelbop hampered root growth, which causes the edge of leaves to weaken from stiff to loose, and drooping down- Correct modifier , but which is referring to root growth which is incorrect and also NO PARALLELISM from stiff to loose, and drooping down - OUT

(D) the woolly agelbop hampered root growth, causing the edge of leaves to weaken from stiff to loose and to droop down - CORRECT. Right modifier plus parallelism "stiff to loose and to droop down"

(E) the woolly agelbop hampered root growth, and this causes the edge of leaves to weaken from stiff to loose, and their drooping down - no Modifier error
, but "this" has clear referent - OUT
