Water gels, applied to pieces of art using small sponges that slowly release chemical solvents onto the artwork first used in the early 1980s, are minimizing potential damage to original artwork.
POE:
Eliminate (A)- we need a verb before 'applied'
Eliminate (B) - modifier error; "water gels.......apply"
Eliminate (C) - 'being' is redundant on GMAT.
Eliminate (E) - connector needed before 'minimize'A)
Water gels, applied to pieces of art using small sponges that slowly release chemical solvents onto the artwork first used in the early 1980s, are minimizing
B)
Water gels, first used in the early 1980s,
apply to pieces of art with small sponges in order to slowly release chemical solvents onto the artwork and minimize
C) Water gels, first used in the early 1980s,
being applied to pieces of art with small sponges in order to slowly release chemical solvents onto the artwork, minimizing
D) Water gels, first used in the early 1980s and applied to pieces of art with small sponges, slowly release chemical solvents onto the artwork, minimizing -
CORRECTE)
Water gels, first used in the early 1980s,
are applied and put on pieces of art with small sponges in order to slowly release chemical solvents onto the artwork,
minimize
