Atmospheric Water SC

by dnkcdnguy » Sat Jan 17, 2009 5:35 pm
Acid rain and snow result from the chemical reactions between industrial emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides with atmospheric water vapor to produce highly corrosive sulfuric and nitric acids.

A) with atmospheric water vapor to produce highly corrosive sulfuric and nitric acids

B) with atmospheric water vapor producing highly corrosive sulfuric and nitric acids

C) and atmospheric water vapor which has produced highly corrosive sulfuric and nitric acids

D) and atmospheric water vapor which have produced sulfuric and nitric acids which are highly corrosive

E) and atmospheric water vapor to produce highly corrosive sulfuric and nitric acids

Source: SC 1000 Q: 56

A: E

Why isn't the answer A? I was tricked by the idiom between "X" and "Y"..Here it has between "X" and "Y" and "Z".. Am I missing something? Is it because the between is not underlined and there's an exception for "Z"?

Thanks

simplifying the qs as

ignore the middleman 'of'
