"had" in B is right

B is wrong because

"thesis of consumer" is wrong

we need "thesis that consumer can refuse..."

what is the difference between an absolute phrase and a prepostional phrase as an adverb.

consider

with my spirit good, I learn gmat

with good spirit, I learn gmat

in the first, an absolute phrase is used. In the second, a prepositional phrase is used. what is the differnce between those 2 phrases. pls help.

thank you.

absolute phrase may or may not refer to a specific noun in the main clause. apart from adverbial relation with the main clause, every words in the absolute phrase has not grammartical relation with the main clause.

by contrast, prepotional phrase must refer to a specific noun in the main clause and so has grammatical relation with some words in the main clause while it is adverbial of the main clause.

both phrase are adverbial , of course.

pls, confirm, comment.

As per my knowledge who, whose,which,where modifies the noun preceding it.

In option E whose is modifying its preceding noun world. So whose is modifying wrong word. Shopping for a Better World this whole word needs to modify instead of modifying only the word world.

Please explain me am I wrong in my concept. If yes then please clear my concept so that I can use that concept in near future.

Thanks a lot !!
