I see others have already explained this, but I want to take a shot and see if I can say it simply. The conclusion already includes the idea that extracting uranium from saltwater won't be commercially viable until they reduce the cost , so any answer choice that talks about reducing the cost won't ...

E is wrong for two reasons: 1. It changes the meaning. Instead of saying the figure had grown by 1997, it says the figure grew *in* 1997. 2. This modifier clause with a gerund and a subject of its own -- "that figure growing" -- is not standard English. I'm poking around a little to see if...
