by karthikpandian19 » Sun Nov 13, 2011 2:31 am

A. As a building frame rises from the ground with a rudimentary level of earthquake resistance, it would be rated about 60/100, or "substandard" if it were a finished structure with that level of earthquake resistance. ['were' is wrong, wordiness, usually wrong]
B. A building frame rises from the ground with a rudimentary level of earthquake resistance that would be rated about 60/100, or "substandard" as a finished structure. [modifier error]
C. As a building frame rises from the ground, its rudimentary level of earthquake resistance that would be rated about 60/100; qualifying it to be "substandard" if a finished structure. [semicolon should introduce an independent clause]
D. A building frame rises from the ground with a rudimentary level of earthquake resistance that would be rated about 60/100; a finished structure with such earthquake resistance would be deemed "substandard." [semicolon introduces the independent clause correctly]
E. As a building frame rises from the ground, its rudimentary level of earthquake resistance, whichwould deemed "substandard" for a finished structure, would be rated about 60/100. ['which' wrongly refers to earthquake resistance]

"It" must refer to "a rudimentary level of earthquake resistance". But following structure of this sentence, "it" refers structurally to "a building frame". Eliminate A. In C, 'it' also have ambiguous antecedent, along with semicolon. (A not wrong in tense, because it is the hypothetical subjunctive mood, not wrong in 'were').

"Which" in choice E also have modify wrong object.

Between B and D, out of explanation of guy above, D have parallelism structure S + V + O; S + V + O

Hope that help
