Although it gained notoriety after 2001, when it was featured in several popular movies, white-collar boxing, a workout  considered by many to be an outlet for stress and that requires  both discipline and agility, has actually been increasing in popularity since the early 1990s, when a large number of professionals joined blue-collar gyms, like Gleason's in Brooklyn, one of the oldest boxing gyms in the U.S.

"Consider to be" is not considered wrong, but you're right in saying that GMAT prefers just "consider" without "to be" or "as".

Relative pronouns are usually not used after comma; "which" is ideal for non-essential modifiers. "that" is actually a used as an essential modifier.

Here:
requires both discipline and agility: is just an extra info about white-collar boxing and is not essential.

What is OA for this question? E?

OA is C

sguptashared · Answer

(C) considered by many to be an outlet for stress and requiring

In the first look, I couldn't find why would "requiring" be there with "and" in C. But now I think C is better than E because of "That, requiring.." in E.

+1 C

However, I think that parallelism is not Ok in this sentence.

My elimination explanations.

daagh · Answer

Well let me punch in my share of the bout; The reason that C is correct is because of a single factor of grammar. The appositive modifier starting from ‘a workout considered by many to be an outlet for stress and that requires both discipline and agility” is a compound modifier which is supposed to maintain //ism in structure and meaning between or among all its components. In the text, the first part is represented by a past participle ‘considered’ and the second is expressed by a present tense verb ‘requires’. C corrects this error by simply replacing ‘requires’ with ‘requiring’. All other choices fault on that score.
