Question: School integration plans that involve busing between suburban and central-city areas have contributed, according to a recent study, to significant increases in housing integration, which, in turn, reduces any future need for busing.

(A) significant increases in housing integration, which, in turn, reduces
(B) significant integration increases in housing, which, in turn, reduces
(C) increase housing integration significantly, which, in turn, reduces
(D) increase housing integration significantly, in turn reducing
(E) significantly increase housing integration, which, in turn, reduce

Answer: A
Explanation:
 The proposed change to the language could be backed up by the following line of thought:

  • Parallelism
  • Considering two separate truths
  • Modifiers

This is debatable statement. The justification for this is that social integration plans first promote housing integration, and it is these increases—not housing integration in and of themselves—that reduce the need for increased busing in the future.

A: Correct
This choice is correct. “Which” not the increment, relates to housing integration. Instead of "reduces," the verb should be in the plural form "reduces" if it were referring to increases. This is illogical.

B: Incorrect
B is an incorrect choice. The same issue as in case A. "Which,” not the increment, relates to housing integration. Instead of "reduces," the verb should be in the plural form "reduces" if referring to increases. This is illogical.

C: Incorrect
This is an incorrect choice. Since the verb to grow is an infinitive, "which" only relates to housing integration and not to increases.

D: Incorrect
It is an incorrect choice. The preceding word is modified by the adverbial phrase "in turn diminishing," and this clause discusses how school integration initiatives have contributed to.

E: Incorrect
It is an incorrect choice. It has a basic S-V error.
If one chooses to disregard the importance of logic, one may choose option A because the word "which" appears to correspond to the word "integration." In that scenario, B, with the relative pronoun modifiying "dwelling,"
could also be a strong contender. Overall, this is a perplexing query.
