Explorer Bob Ballard recently discovered a completely intact ancient vessel at the bottom of the Black Sea; it is so well preserved that we see it as it was during the Bronze Age

A. we see it as it was during
B. we see it as it had been during
C. we see it as if during
D. it appears to us as it did in
E. it appears to us as though in

Can some one please explain this ...Can't understand why the meaning changes in D and E as compared to other choices?

Hi shobhitk,

The big "split" among the answer choices is based on a "style" rule called Active Voice. As a general rule, you should always write and speak in the active voice.

Active Voice is essentially about the "order" of the words: Subject does action, in that order….

As an example:

He taught the class. "He" is the subject", "taught the class" is the action.

Passive voice is usually incorrect (except for a few rare circumstances). Passive voice puts the action BEFORE the subject….

As an example:

The class was taught by the instructor. "Taught the class" is the action, but it comes BEFORE "the instructor" (the subject).

In this SC, answers A, B and C are written in the Active Voice, while D and E are written in the Passive Voice. Eliminate D and E.

The rest of the sentence is a comparison of how something "looks" now vs. how it "looked" in the past. For that, we need simple past tense.

Final Answer: A

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
