international space station

by ansumania » Sun Apr 18, 2010 5:16 pm
Q-The International Space Station recently received two new solar panels, the largest solar arrays ever constructed, which would be increasing the space station's power fivefold, and are essential to further station science experiments and will reflect enough light back to Earth to make the space station one of the brightest objects in the night sky.

A. which would be increasing the space station's power fivefold, and are essential to further science experiments and will reflect enough light back to Earth
B. which will increase the space station's power fivefold, are essential to further science experiments, and will reflect enough light back to Earth
C. so that the space station's power is increasing fivefold and this is essential to further science experiments and then they will reflect enough light back to Earth
D. scientists say will increase the space station's power fivefold and will be essential to further science experiments, and it will happen that they reflect enough light back to Earth
E. causing there to be a fivefold increase in power at the space station, and more science experiments, and also causing enough light to be reflected back to Earth

Pl. explain which would be the answer and why others are eliminated.

regards,

Ansumania

IMO its B

reason question has verb-tense and parallelism issue. C,D and E do not fit in the sentence structure.
what is OA?

I think B has a problem are essential does not say what is essential

if we remove the which statement

The International Space Station recently received two new solar panels, the largest solar arrays ever constructed, are essential to further science experiments, and will reflect enough light back to Earth to make the space station one of the brightest objects in the night sky.


dont u think and or they is required before are

As Liferocks points out above, B fits the bill.

OA?
