C changes the meaning a bit. In the original and in B, we know that more effective pest-control methods saved the citrus industry in the 1880s.sandeep_thaparianz wrote:

C says that those methods were introduced in the 1880s.

Right. By putting crops with walnut in the middle of the list, it makes it sounds like only walnuts are considered crop. By including it at the end of the list, it makes it clear that everything listed is a crop.pallav.gmat wrote:I choose B over A as 'walnut crops' makes more sense than just 'walnut'.

Doesn't this convey the meaning that only walnuts are crops and the rest are not.
the correct sentence should have been crops of grape,celery, chili pepper, sugar beet and walnut
Please suggest
