Experts' Global Official Explanation:
Parallelism + Modifiers + Meaning + Grammatical Construction + Redundancy/Awkwardness
Understanding the intended meaning is key to solving this question; the intended meaning of this sentence is that food and beverage wholesalers benefit not only from the increasing demand for innovative packaged food products but also from the higher profits made in importing exotic goods, requests for which have increased.
- • “not only A but also B” is a correct, idiomatic usage; A must be parallel to B.
• In a “noun + comma + phrase” construction, the phrase must correctly modify the noun; this is one of the most frequently tested concepts on GMAT sentence correction.
A. This answer choice incorrectly modifies “the higher profits made when exotic goods are imported” with “requests for which have increased…”, incorrectly implying that requests for the profits made through import of exotic goods have increased; the intended meaning is that requests for the exotic goods themselves have increased; please remember, in a “noun + comma + phrase” construction, the phrase must correctly modify the noun. Further, Option A fails to maintain parallelism between “from the increasing demand for…” and “the higher profits made when…”; please remember, “not only A but also B” is a correct, idiomatic usage; A must be parallel to B.
B. This answer choice incorrectly modifies “the higher profits that are made in the import of exotic goods” with “requests for which have increased…”, illogically implying that requests for the higher profits made in the import of exotic goods have increased; the intended meaning is that requests for exotic goods themselves have increased; please remember, in a “noun + comma + phrase” construction, the phrase must correctly modify the noun. Further, Option B fails to maintain parallelism between “from the increasing demand for…” and “the higher profits that are made in…”; please remember, “not only A but also B” is a correct, idiomatic usage; A must be parallel to B. Additionally, Option B uses the needlessly wordy phrase “higher profits that are made in the import of exotic goods”, leading to awkwardness.
C. Trap. This answer choice alters the meaning of the sentence through the phrase “and whose requests have increased…”; the construction of this phrase illogically implies that the requests made by the exotic goods have increased; the intended meaning is that the requests for exotic goods have increased. Further, Option C uses the passive voice construction “which make higher profits for the wholesalers when imported”, rendering it needlessly indirect and wordy.
D. Correct. This answer choice correctly modifies “exotic goods” with “requests for which have increased”, conveying the intended meaning- that the requests for exotic goods have increased. Further, Option D maintains parallelism between “from the increasing demand for…” and “from the higher profits made in…”. Additionally, Option D is free of any awkwardness or redundancy.
E. Trap. This answer choice alters the meaning of the sentence through the phrase “and whose requests have increased…”; the construction of this phrase illogically implies that the requests made by the exotic goods have increased; the intended meaning is that the requests for exotic goods have increased. Further, Option E uses the passive voice construction “whose import makes higher profits for the wholesalers”, rendering it needlessly indirect and wordy.
D is the best answer choice.
