Author Susan Faludi contends that the appearance of studies suggesting an overall decrease in the mental and physical well-being of women are evidence of a growing backlash towards the feminist movement.
Meaning of the original sentence:
1. Author Susan Faludi contends something
2. This something is studies
3. Studies that suggest an overall decrease in the mental and physical well-being of women
4. This studies are are evidence of a growing backlash towards the feminist movement
Errors of the original sentence:
"the appearance" - singular - are - plural - doesn't agree in number. Eliminate (A).
Presence of "appearance" is also questionable, "appearance" itself literally cannot be an evidence, studies can.
POE
(A) and (C) can be eliminated because of SV agreement.
A. the appearance of studies suggesting an overall decrease in the mental and physical well-being of women
C. because studies suggesting an overall decrease in the mental and physical well-being of women has appeared, they
(D) can be eliminated because of "appearing to suggest", you suggest or not suggest.
D. studies appearing to suggest an overall decrease in mental and physical well-being of women
B. because of studies suggesting an overall decrease in the mental and physical well-being of women have appeared, they
E. studies suggesting an overall decrease in the mental and physical well-being of women
Between (B) and (E), (B) seems to be run-on sentence, IC,IC. Nevertheless (B) is too wordy in comparison with clear and concise (E)
