Check *its* in non-underline part. It treats orchestra as singular. That means A cannot be the answer because of have

(C) Bach, Handel, and Bartok, appears that it has

In option A , 'to have' refers to singular subject orchestra, which is wrong.
D is wordy but correct.

Can you please clear the confusion with the usage of "has" or "have" with the subject "The local orchestra". Also, with the presence of "its" in the non-underlined part of the sentence, how to know what to use?

TIA.

1) "Appears to" is the correct idiom, and not "Appears that".
2) We don't say "Appears to has", but "Appears to have".
3) Repeating the "it" is unnecessary when the sentence can convey the intended meaning in much clear and concise manner without the "it".

MANHATTAN REVIEW OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:



The idiom ‘from...to’ should be used here. That leaves A and D. There is no need to use the pronoun ‘it’ to repeat the subject. A is correct.

"The local orchestra" is singular subject. So the singular pronoun "its" is used. The verb "appears" is also singular (as against the use of "appear" - the plural verb).
In such cases, "appears" is usually followed by an adjective or a to-infinitive (to have here).
e.g. ... appears dull... or ... appears to have ...

Removing the non-essential modifier, we get
The local orchestra appears that it has ... (that clause is not correct here)

That said, we do follow appear with "that" when "it" is the subject.
Going by the ruling, it appears that reducing the rate is the only acceptable way of passing on the benefit.
It appears that if it will help Beltre with his decision, he can count on this ...

Just adding some examples to give you some clarity :-

1) If I write "I have done my homework" , "I" is singular. There is no problem with the sentence right.
2) "He seems to have eavesdropped on our entire conversation"
