..


A-> correct as a result of the removal of X and the clearing of Z parallel and gramatical
B-> as a result of removing x and the clearing of Z -> clearing is a gerund and removing is a verb in present continuos -> not parallel
C-> eliminate years resulting is incorrect
D-> years which is a result incorrectly says years are a result
E -> same as D

Hi Spriya,

In B, how can you conclude that removing is continuous tense, while clearing is gerund?

tks
