when giving example always use such as ----> 3 and 4 out

5) had contributed is wrong tense ( sequencing gets changed)

2) decided to contribute is different than contributed , hence meaning is altered

such as x and y(correct) is better than such as x and also y(incorrect)

hi you are using POE .. is "such baritone singers as Bing Crosby and Russ Columbo contributed... " structurally correct? better choice is (baritone singers such as bing ..) but of course, it's not in the choice

"such baritone singers as Bing Crosby and Russ Columbo contributed... ". I think this is correct structure.

There is an idiom in MGMAT - "such X as Y and Z".
