Under a provision of the Constitution that was never applied. Congress has been required to call a convention
for considering possible amendments to the document when formally asked to do it by the legislatures
of two-thirds of the states.


(D) has never been applied, whereby Congress is required to call a convention to consider possible
amendments to the document when formally asked to do so

SENTENCE FRAGMENTATION


(E) has never been applied. Congress is required to call a convention to consider possible amendments to
the document when formally asked to do so

CORRECT

why do we need present perfect in the main clause?

Cannot we use 'was' and 'has been' combination as used in sentence A?
to do it !!! in option A is one of the big NO's in GMAT!
wondering if option A is correct if we modify the ending to "to do so".

Thanks mate!
Than we will still have the tense problem. HAS & WAS!
