Steve Woodworth, the founder and chief executive of Pan-Asian Imports, a Hong Kong-based business that imports and exports computers, networking devices, and fiber optic switches, and will be leading the technology conference in San Francisco next week.

The portion in red is an extended MODIFIER describing the subject (Steve Woodworth) and the company that he founded (Pan-Asian Imports).

If we omit this modifier in the answer choices, we get:

A) Steve Woodworth and will be leading the technology conference
B) Steve Woodworth and he will be leading the technology conference
C) Steve Woodworth he will be leading the technology conference
D) Steve Woodworth will be leading the technology conference
E) Steve Woodworth leading the technology conference

In A, B, C and E, the subject (Steve Woodworth) lacks a verb.
Eliminate A, B, C and E.

The correct answer is D.

A) switches, and will be leading

B) switches, and he will be leading

C) switches; he will be leading

D) switches, will be leading

E) switches, leading

D is the answer for and should be eliminated in it. It is not useful because of "a Hong Kong-based business that imports and exports computers, networking devices, and fiber optic switches" is a phrase to support the subject and can be eliminated.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
