Hi all,
Below listed question has been asked multiple times but i have some questions for which i haven't found answers
Out of America's fascination with all things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub.
b.things antique has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that is bringing
Option "b" is the correct answer
1. Are "has grown" and "is bringing" parallel here
2. Shouldn't fixtures followed by the word "are" instead of "is"
Please clarify
Thanks
Usage of "Is" for plurals

Typically in GMAT, if the intention was to modify only fixtures, GMAT would have used a which. In this case, logically speaking, the market is bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub. In other words, that is modifying market.
When you say has grown and is bringing are not parallel, do you intend to say that they should have both been in the same tense? For example, following is a correct sentence.
Jamie has brought apples, which are good for health.
has brought and are good clearly are not same tense.
