Because of wireless service costs plumm ... any people now using their mobile phones to make calls across a wide region at night and on weekends, when numerous wireless companies provide unlimited airtime for a relatively small monthly fee.

D. With the cost of wireless service plummeting in the last year and mobile phones becoming increasingly common, many people are

I think OA is correct.
We use past perfect to show the continuing action or the continued affect of the action done in the past.
And this is correctly used in "E"
I think in "D" use of this phrase "plummeting in the last year" is nonsensical. Continuous tense indicate action currently on or now.

In "A" and "B" main clause is missing verb.

I agree with the explenation above.

How do we use WITH in a sentence ?

With the cost of wireless service plummeting in..

I always feel uncomfortable with choosing an option with WITH CONSTRUCTION.

Someone please explain this..Thanks

A, B, C are out because if the end of the sentense. ..Ppl now using... needs are helping verb are.

D is out because of wrong redundant construction.. "becoming increasingly".

E is perfect because, HAS is showing an action of past with current effect(Present perfect tense), and "increasingly " showing the continues action in present.


Ans - E
