4. A common disability in test pilots is hearing impairment, a consequence of sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time.
(A) a consequence of sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time
(B) a consequence from sitting for long periods of time too near to large jet engines
(C) a consequence which resulted from sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time
(D) damaged from sitting too near to large jet engines for long periods of time
(E) damaged because they sat too close to large jet engines for long periods of time

OA A

Can anyone explain how do statements A, B & C differ in meaning?
A consequence of sitting...
A consequence from sitting....
A consequence which resulted from sitting.....

which of the above is correct?

This is actually a difference of idiom, not of meaning. "Consequence of" is the correct idiom; "consequence from" is incorrect. "A consequence which resulted" uses the incorrect relative pronoun "which." It should be "that." On the GMAT, "which" will always come after a comma when used in this context.

"Damaged" in D and E would be an illogical modifier: it doesn't make sense to say "the impairment is damaged," because impairment already means damaged.

Thanks Ceilidh,

I didn't know this was idiom related. I could narrow down to A,B & C because I knew "damaged" is wrong.
Just could not figure out the difference in meaning. But now I got that it is not meaning related but idiom related.
thanks
