As litigation grows more complex, the need  that experts explain technical issues becomes  more apparent.

Correct idiom is "  need for X  ", eliminate (A), (D) and (E).

What if you don't know the idiom "need for X"? No way to eliminate A?

GKomoku · Answer

Hello  mskx

the need for  - implies that there is a necessity for experts who able to explain some technical stuff, so we need this experts

the need that  - role of "that" - making subordinare clause - here in the given sentence - implies that there is a necessity in explanation of experts not the experts themselves.  more about that

As litigation grows more complex, the need that experts explain technical issues becomes more apparent.

But this is the orginal sentense - we always push away from this version.
So there is not much difference in meaning between (A) and (C).

To me only idiom knowlege can be helpful...

Here's the   official explanation   for this question:

This sentence begins with an adverbial clause in the present tense,  as litigation grows more complex . The  as  indicates that the adverbial clause describes an event occurring at the same time as those described in the sentence's main clause. For the main clause to adhere to the conventions of English diction, the noun  need  should be followed here by a prepositional phrase starting with  of  or  for .

Option A:  using the noun  need  with the subordinate clause  that experts explain technical issues  violates the conventions of English diction.

Option B:  The  as  beginning the sentence indicates that the main clause should be in a suitable tense coherent with the initial adverbial clause, so it is incorrect to use the past tense  became .

Option C:  Correct. The noun  need  is appropriately followed by the prepositional phrase  for experts to explain technical issues  . The main clause appropriately fits with the present tense of the initial adverbial clause since  becomes  is a present tense verb form.

Option D:  Using the noun  need  with the subordinate clause  that technical issues be explained by experts  violates the conventions of English diction. Furthermore, the  as  beginning the sentence indicates that the main clause should be in a suitable tense coherent with the initial adverbial clause, so it is incorrect to use the past tense  became .

Option E:  Using the noun  need  with the subordinate clause  that there be explanations of technical issues by experts  violates the conventions of English diction. The subordinate clause is also needlessly verbose. Furthermore, the  as  beginning the sentence indicates that like the initial adverbial clause, the main clause should describe an event occurring now or in the future, but  has become  indicates an event that has already occurred.

The correct answer is C.

simple present tense show an event which exists indefinitely , before, in , and , after speech time. also, simple present show an event which exists at the moment of speech.

so, past tense "became" can not be fit with "as".

regarding present perfect in choice E. present perfect show an event happening in a time frame until present. so, present perfect can not fit with a point of time at present or an event existing before , in, and after the speech time. so, choice E is gone. I do recommend you review present perfect in grammar books because this tense can not be explained in a few lines inhere. non native can not explain this tense to us fully. I am not focusing on grammar . I am still focusing on meaning. but tense error is meaning error and, so, is important on gmat. dont fall into trap of leaning grammar rules.

we need to fully understand basic tenses, simple present, simple past and past perfect to solve this problem. these tense is basic and we can understand these tense by reading good grammar book . but dont read too much, gmat dont test minor points of grammar. it tests hard and basic points of grammar.

need to do, need for somebody to do , and need of somthing, are good idioms. choice A is gone.
