Hi mundasingh123,

Is it ok to use 'considering' to modify citizens? IMO participle is used to modify entire clause or action in the clause but not the noun immediately before the participle.

(C) who considered themselves "vegan" has jumped by almost 100 percent, to
(D) who considered themselves "vegan" jumped almost by 100 percent, at
(E) to consider themselves "vegan" jumped almost by 100 percent, at


The intended meaning of this Sc is that the number of people jumped to 5 million

Hi, it may be a completely vague question, but I'm a little confused with the past tense here...It says- In 2003, alright, but what is the event against which you decided its a past tense?

Your thoughts plz.

Just tried to understand the intended meaning .i assumed Had it been this year , the Sc would not have stated the year .
Also The verb tense that has been used for popularity is in the past
