improved efficiency

[nikhilkatira]

Although improved efficiency in converting harvested trees into wood products may reduce harvest rates, it will stimulate demand by increasing supply and lowering prices, thereby boosting consumption.

A. in converting harvested trees into wood products may reduce harvest rates, it will stimulate demand by increasing supply and lowering prices, thereby boosting.

B. In converting harvested trees into wood products may reduce harvest rates, demand will be stimulated because of increasing supply and lowering prices, which boost.

C. Of converting harvested trees into wood products may reduce harvest rates, it will stimulate demand by increasing supply and lowering prices, which boosts.

D. Of harvested trees being converted into wood products may reduce harvest rates, it will stimulate demand, because it will increase supply and lower prices, thereby boosting.

E. When harvested trees are converted into wood products may reduce harvest rates, demand will be stimulated because of increasing supply and lowering prices, which boost.

IMO A

B : meaning of the sentence

C : boosts
D: being
E : when

[selango]

Narrows down to B and E

efficiency in converting is better than efficiency when

In option A,C and D "it" doesn't has proper antecedent[efficiency or harvest rates]

[selango]

IMO A

B : dangling opening modifier

C : boosts
D: being
E : when

paes,

Can you please explain how B is dangling open modifier.

[selango]

Although X,Y is correct Idiom.

[paes]

selango :

sorry, I missed the initial non-underlined part of the sentence.
So completely misunderstood it.

I am going to remove my post.

efficiency in converting is better than efficiency when

In option A,C and D "it" doesn't has proper antecedent[efficiency or harvest rates]

E clearly out : usage of when

E. When harvested trees are converted into wood products may reduce harvest rates, demand will be stimulated because of increasing supply and lowering prices, which boost.

Option A.
As parallelism is maintained.converting and boosting are parallel.

OptionB:Increasing Supply and Lowering prices do not have a cause stated explicitly.So eliminated.demand will be stimulated is the passive form.

OptionC:Eliminated as "Which Boosts" in the end of the sentence does not make any sense with respect to the sentence,that is describing a hypothetical situation.

OptionD:Use of the Word "Being" makes us suspicious of the option.boosting does not have a parallel counterpart.

OptionE:"demand will be stimulated" has a passive tone.Eliminated.

IMO: A

In option A "it" modifies what?

[nikhilkatira]

In option A "it" modifies what?

can anybody answer ?

[paes]

In option A "it" modifies what?

can anybody answer ?

'it' is modifying to 'improved efficiency'

[selango]

But the correct idiom is Although X Y..right?

[paes]

But the correct idiom is Although X Y..right?

Yes, but x and Y can be same also.

Although I have completed the task, I don't want to start the new one.

[selango]

Although improved efficiency in converting,it stimulate the demand.

Although improved efficiency in converting,demand will be stimulated.


Which one is better?
Also "it" in first sentence modifies what?
