E - have shown an increasing choice of - too wordy - VAN pattern
Moreover investments in D seem better compared to approach

"buying stocks and bonds" is the approach that is being talked about.imskpwr wrote:Instead of buying stocks and bonds, which are the conventional approach for someone new to financial planning, real estate has become increasingly the choice of young people as a first investment.

so it should have a singular verb.
BUYING STOCKS AND BONDS IS A CONVENTIONAL APPROACH.
in option a,b,and c,"buying stocks and bonds,which is the conventional approach" would be correct.
So eliminate A,B,AND C.
eliminate E because it states that stocks and bonds are an approach;instead,they are investments.
SO D modifies it correctly. hence,it is the answer.

I too made a blunder with SVA.
I know that what you wrote is correct.
So can I say that a Complement needs to be in agreement(in numbers) with its subject.
I always have problems with SVA.

Hey Guys,
From the perspective of SVA, how is D different from A, B and C.
buying stocks and bonds, which are the conventional investments for those new to financial planning, young people have increasingly chosen real estate.
For me OA should be E.
Instead of X (noun), modifier, Young people have shown Y (a noun phrase).
Experts please help.

Any phrase/ clause treated as a subject must be considered singular. Therefore, here BUYING STOCKS AND BOND collectively is a singular.
