I narrowed my answer choice to B and E because I know the sentence need "and" in it.

The Princeton review states the correct answer is B. They state answer E is not correct, because to use "that" in the sentence would require the word "creating".

Does anyone know why if "that" is in the sentence we need to use "creating"? It just doesn’t make sense to me

Thanks!

imo

if we use " that" then we need to use " creating but we cant use "and"..it would be like this..

Unseasonable weather in the months before a wine harvest can cool vineyards in the Bordeaux region enough That the size of the grapes are affected,creating unwanted moisture that can cause mold in some grape varieties and deterioration in others.

"creating" modifies the main clause.
