A. that included - > "that" starts a relative modifier clause, since its nearest to first term, the clause starting with "that" seems to modify "first term", where as it should modify "Posts"
B. which includes - > same as A.
C. including
D. some of which were -> Run on sentence, 2 independent clauses joined by comma

According to MGMAT, D is not run on sentence. some of which = which. They are used in the same way.

Actually, as some of which and which are grammartically used in the same way, it seems to modify his first term instead of posts. This suggests the incorrect meaning.

sme tips from the GMAT point of view

comma that is almost not accepted in GMAT
comma which always modify nearest eligible noun
A and B out
D some of which is an adjective phrase and therfore modifies nearest noun firm .......not intended by s/c
E among them being........... does not carry any verb hence s/c becomes awkward

C it is

A and B modify team , which is not what we are looking for . ELIMINATE

C - Correct

D - awkward and wordy. we got better answer options here . why go for D instead ?

E- awkward . being - almost always wrong in GMAT

Hope this helps :-)

Just to add to the amazing pointers given by thephoenix, a participle is the most succinct way to introduce a modifier.

I had a doubt here.

the 2 positions after comma should ideally modify posts. With the use of comma + including it is modifying the entire previous clause?

This modifier nether answers the how they were appointed not does it express the result of being appointed tpo several posts. So, how is comma + including correct.

Please explain?
