Twenty-two feet long and 10 feet in diameter, the AM-1 is one of the many new satellites that is a part of 15 years effort of subjecting the interactions of Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and land surfaces to detailed scrutiny from space.

A.satellites that is a part of 15 years effort of subjecting the interactions of Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and land surfaces
B.satellites, which is a part of a 15-year effort to subject how Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and land surfaces interact
C.satellites, part of 15 years effort of subjecting how Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and land surfaces are interacting
D.satellites that are part of an effort for 15 years that has subjected the interactions of Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and land surfaces
E.satellites that are part of a 15-year effort to subject the interactions of Earth's atmosphere, ocean, and land surfaces

[spoiler]OA:E[/spoiler]
That refers to satellites , so verb is are (A,B out)
C- part of ..effort of subjecting how x,y, and z are interacting to ..
are interacting indicates right now but the intention is not right now, So incorrect
Between D and E
D-- What is wrong with D?
Is 'effort for' incorrect idiom???
'that' refers to either effort or 15 years
since verb is 'has', the subject of this verb is effort. It means that effort itself has subjected the interactions to detailed scrutiny. I think intention is to say that the 'effort was to subject the interactions to detailed scrutiny )

"that has subjected" here shows that the effort has subjected the interactions......but this is not the case. Effort has been made to subject the interactions....
Also, "part of an effort for 15 years" is absolutely convoluted and also distorts the meaning. The satellites are a part of an effort. 15 years modifies the effort. Whereas in D it seems that the satellites have been a part of an effort and that they have been a part for 15 years. It sounds odd in this context.

Hope it helps. Thanks.

some things that are actually wrong with (d):

* "for 15 years" is modifying the clause "...that are part of an effort".
--> you can't use the present tense with this sort of timeframe (specifically, a timeframe beginning in the past and continuing into the present). for instance, I am a teacher for 20 years is also nonsense.
you could correct the tense to have been: they have been part of effort X for 15 years.
or, you could do what the correct answer does: Get rid of "for 15 years". If it's an adjective (15-year), then you don't have this restriction anymore, because "15-year xxxx" doesn't necessarily imply that you're talking about the most recent 15 years -- it could also be a projected timeline.

* "effort of VERBing" is the wrong idiom here.
this idiom refers to the actual effort/struggle involved in doing the action of VERBing.
e.g.
The effort of shoveling all the snow was so exhausting that Martin stayed home from the gym.

to refer to an effort that has VERBing as its goal or purpose, "effort to VERB" is the idiom you want.

also -- although this is not a strict "error" or "rule" -- it can nonetheless help you with guessing / elimination:

the GMAC writers definitely go out of their way to avoid using constructions like "x that y that z" or "a of b of c", whenever possible.
So, "satellites that are part of an effort that has..." in choice D should get you saying, "Hmmm, if I had to guess, I'd guess that's wrong."

again, this is not an actual error; it's a style thing. however, it's quite consistent across the official problems.
