[GmatKiss]

Calculus, a subject offered to high school students planning to attend college involving the study of change, is used in the science and engineering fields, because it focuses on limits, derivatives, integrals, and infinite series.

(A) to attend college involving the study of change, is used in the science and engineering fields, because it focuses on
(B) to attend college involves the study of change, and is used in the fields of science and engineering, because it focuses on
(C) to go to college involving the study of change, and is used in science and engineering fields, because it was focusing on
(D) to attend college that involves studying change, and is used in the science and engineering fields, because it focuses on
(E) to attend college involving the study of change, which is now used in the science and engineering fields, focuses on

IMO B

Subject .... involves

We don't need 'that' here.. we are talking about the subject (calculus) that involves... blah blah
and not the college..

[krishnakumar.ks]

IMO B.

[loving.achin]

Isn't B a fragment.

There is no verb in the main sentence.

It seems wrong to me. Comments?

Hi everyone,

Is it D?

[CaptainHaddock]

B seems to be the best pick, though I must confess, I am not entirely convinced that B is structured right.

[aspirant2011]

Yup B is the best pick out here.....

Hi Aspirant, would like to get a RED/GREEN from you

IMO none of the options are correct. A to D - all option uses incorrect puntuations [Independent Clause, Dependent Clause].

In B use of comma before 'is used' not correct - this should be used only when subject is different. Also, IT can refer to both SUBJECT & THE STUDY. If I have to pick I'll pick E

[mankey]

I dont see anything wrong with A. Some expert please help.

Thanks.
