1000SC: Qn:289

can anyone please explain y B is the correct answer? is "which" used here properly?

Although, I would have preferred that in place of ",which", nevertheless which is taking the place of drug and alcohal abuse, which is better than the rest of options. For instance, appositive in choice C does feel disconnected in this case.

E&F officials say that the use of C&C is growing rapidly among workers, significantly compounding the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, which already are a cost to business of more than $100 billion a year.

(A) significantly compounding the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, which already are a cost to business of
"which already are a cost to business of" is too awkward
(B) significantly compounding the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, which already cost business
this looks good. Lets keep this in.
(C) significantly compounding the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, already with business costs of
"already with business costs of " is not having a proper subject here. This one is out.
(D) significant in compounding the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, and already costing business
(E) significant in compounding the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, and already costs
For D,E - Significant in compounding is not preferred to "Significantly compounding" . Hence D & E are out.

Best Answer Choice is Option B
