In A and C, a comma incorrectly serves to connect two complete sentences.
This error is known as a COMMA SPLICE.
Eliminate A and C.
Generally, all of the verbs in a sentence should be in the SAME TENSE unless a change in tense is required.
In B, there is no reason to switch from the past tense (
introduced) to the present tense (
sets).
Eliminate B.
E:
The filmmaker introduced close-ups...by setting vehicles on fire.
This meaning is nonsensical.
SETTING VEHICLES AFLAME was not HOW the filmmaker INTRODUCED CLOSE-UPS.
Eliminate E.
The correct answer is
D.
