Hi again guys! I know this sentence has already been posted... However, I still can't understand why the correct answer is correct. Many tks!!

International sporting events need not be fiscal disasters, the financial success of the 1992 Olympic Games demonstrates that fact.

(A) the financial success of the 1992 Olympic Games demonstrates that fact
(B) for example, the 1992 Olympic Games were financially successfulxx
(C) like the financial success of the 1992 Olympic Games demonstrates
(D) a fact demonstrated by the 1992 Olympic Games, which were financially successful
(E) as the financial success of the 1992 Olympic Games demonstrates

IMO D
"International sporting events need not be fiscal disasters" is a fact, so it needs a modifier as in D, later followed by the example of Olympics
I will go with D.

I chose E.

A - There should be a semicolon between those two thoughts.
B - The use of "for example" to connect these two thoughts is incorrect and awkward.
C - When presenting examples, "like" should not be used. "Such as" or "as" is a better choice.
D - This is in passive voice. The GMAT prefers active voice. "John loves chocolate" is better that "The chocolate is loved by John".

I would choose E. I can't put into words whqat is wrong with the original, but it doesn't feel right.

E uses as, which is a very good way to introduce examples
