Hi,
The answer is B) but I am not sure what that of "that is bringing" indicates and why singular....

"that is bringing" refers to the "market" that's why is singular

(A) things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing
(B) things antique has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that is bringing
(C) things that are antiques has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that bring
(D) antique things have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing
(E) antique things has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that bring

First of all....subject here is America's fascination....which for sure is singular....hence "have grown" is out of line...eliminate A&D
Likewise "that bring" is wrong....Eliminate E and C...

Continuos tense bringing is correct...Hence B

IMO B

coz the verb tense should be bringing as we are talking about it in present...

market = singular. Hence has instead of have.
