Good Day Guru

The controversy has divided the Senate, causing strains in the commission, provoking public charges by industry officials that the banking chief is overreaching his authority, and private complaints that he is "reckless" and "stubborn."


A. causing strains in the commission, provoking public charges by industry officials that the banking chief is overreaching his authority, and private complaints that he is "reckless" and "stubborn."

B. causing strains in the commission and provoking public charges by industry officials that the banking chief is overreaching his authority, with private complaints that he is "reckless" and "stubborn."

C. caused strains in the commission, and provoked public charges by industry officials that the banking chief is overreaching his authority and that private complaints that he is "reckless" and "stubborn."

D. caused strains in the commission, provoked public charges by industry officials that the banking chief is overreaching his authority and private complaints that he is "reckless" and "stubborn."

E. caused strains in the commission, and provoked public charges by industry officials that the banking chief is overreaching his authority and private complaints that he is "reckless" and "stubborn."

my concern: the proclaimed answer is E HOWEVER i find this question flawed for the following reason :

the "causing of strain" and "proving of charges" are not separate events from the main event that is happening.
in a sentence such as : there was a traffic and i was late for work----> i effectively mean that "my being late for work" was NOT BECAUSE there was traffic BUT because of some other reason

SO when i am putting the sentence:The controversy has divided the Senate, caused strains in the commission, and provoked public charges by industry officials that the banking chief is overreaching his authority and private complaints that he is "reckless" and "stubborn."
------> i am effectively meaning that "causing of strains in the commission" HAS nothing to do with the fact that "The controversy has divided the Senate"


thanks and best regards

E: The controversy has divided the Senate, caused strains in the commission, and provoked private charges.
This sentence states that the controversy has had three effects:
It has divided the Senate.
It has caused strains in the commission.
It has provoked public charges.

------> i am effectively meaning that "causing of strains in the commission" HAS nothing to do with the fact that "The controversy has divided the Senate".
E simply states that both events -- the dividing of the Senate and the causing of strains in the commission -- are effects of the controversy.
This meaning seems logical.
