A 1972 agreement between Canada and the United States reduced the amount of
phosphates that municipalities had been allowed to dump into the Great Lakes.
(A) reduced the amount of phosphates that municipalities had been allowed to
dump
(B) reduced the phosphate amount that municipalities had been dumping
(C) reduces the phosphate amount municipalities have been allowed to dump
(D) reduced the amount of phosphates that municipalities are allowed to dump
（A）
(E) reduces the amount of phosphates allowed for dumping by municipalities

why (a)is right not (b)

dumping

the word dumping does not match the rest of the sentence
Appetite for 700 and I scraped my plate!

The answer has to be E. In English written things and facts not disproven are always in the present tense. If this agrrement was abolished, then we can use "reduced."

A long time ago people discovered that the world is round not the world was round.

In The Lion King Scar kills Mufasa, not killed Mufasa.

Our constitution gives us rights, not gave us rights. Only if it is abolished can we use gave.

Those are my thoughts.

imo;D

A changes the meaning...

it uses " past perfect"... an action that has been completed in the past.

But actually the sentence means something different..

reduced the amount of phosphates..

the sentence means to say that the dumping is still going on...

And D uses an appropriate verb "are" to show that...

B uses past perfect conti. ... changes meaning.

imo this sentence is to test our ability to understand the sentence
:wink:

It can't be D unless the agreement is no longer in affect.
The first amendment "gives" us the freedom of speach, not "gave" us.
