For protection from the summer sun, the Mojave lived in open-sided, flat-topped
dwellings known as shades, each a roof of poles and arrowweed supported by posts set in
a rectangle.
A. each a roof of poles and arrowweed
B. each a roof of poles and arrowweed that are being
C. with each being a roof of poles and arrowweed
D. with roofs of poles and arrowweed to be
E. with roofs of poles and arrowweed that are

Please lemme know whether my reasoning to eliminate E is correct..
i think with E, the sentence is a run on sentence..
Please lemme know whether there is another reasoning to eliminate E
So after eliminating E, A is the best choice OA: A

E is eliminated because it implies the Mojave lived with roofs of poles...

But what we want to really say is the dwellings had roofs of poles. A is correct because it refers to dwellings.

A - is the right answer

Eliminate 'Being' from answer choices as it is almost always not preferred on the GMAT especially when used as a participle.

Furthermore, the Mojave 'lived' - this is historical/in the past.

B - implies present occurrence - ELIMINATE
C - implies present occurrence - ELIMINATE
D - implies future occurrence - ELIMINATE
E- changes the meaning from SHADES which are described in the original (A) as 'each a roof of poles' to SHADES with roofs and poles - ELIMINATE

E is a comma + preposition setup....it modifies the entire previous clause.

Read the Stacey's comments on the following thread....

https://www.beatthegmat.com/ing-modifier ... 38943.html

Here Stacey has discussed about both comma + ing and comma + preposition....

We want a noun modifier to modify dwellings...and do not want to modify the entire previous clause...so C,D and E are wrong.
