Abhishek can you explain why you choose D instead of A. All other options except A are having some problems - E.g. -
In option B, we did not find any reference for the pronoun "their"
In option C, incorrect use of present tense
In option E, incorrect use of passive voice

But I did not find any problem in A. It is true that the OA is D but why did we error out A?

Hi camitava,

The original prompt has a couple of problems that ultimately make it incorrect:

1) Verb tense - the sentence states "…a judge overturnED THE BAN on the ground…." so we know that we're dealing with A ban (singular) and that the judge overturnED it in the PAST. Notice answer D correctly refers to a singular pronoun (it) and a past tense verb (violated), while answer A does not.

2) Style - "the law…allows..." or "a law allowing..." would be grammatically correct. The phrase "a law FOR allowing" is not (the word "for" in front of "allowing" is unnecessary/redundant).

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
