SC悬赏令第三季Leader火热招募中！！！

Municipal governments are beginning to confront the growing pension liabilities; this leads local politicians throughout the country to become increasingly vocal about restraining costs and limiting services.

   A the growing pension liabilities; this leads
   B their growing pension liabilities; leading
   C the growth in their pension liabilities, which leads
   D their growing pension liabilities, leading
   E their growing pension liabilities, that leads
选项解析：
A )This choice contains a confusing pron: "this"  refers to "liabilities" or the former sentence? Usually it refers the the closest noun. But if "this" refers to "liabilities" , the verb "leads" is incorrect. And in GMAT, no pron can represent
a sentence.
B)This choice contains an incorrect division: the sentences before and after semicolon should be whole sentences separately. This can be used for quick choice.
C）"Which" refers to "growth". But there is a logical flaw that "growth" is the subject of the last sentence. It is the action,"Governments confront ...liabilities", that "leads" the "politicians....". It is a common incorrect choice for test takers. Be careful! What's more, the "growth in ...."is wordy.
D）Correct. “leading" is an accompanying adverbial clause, which indicates something that happens together with the main sentence. But I have a puzzle that the logical subject of "leading" should be the subject of the main sentence, which is "government". Is that reasonable?
E) This choice is also incorrect in the pron "that" as choice A. And the comma means there is only one whole sentence, but choice E does not.
题目点评：
本题涉及主句，分句的区分，以及代词指代和修饰句子的问题。
     首先看到分号要反应到应该有两个完整的句子在分号前后，查看是否如此，然后排除B，E。
    其次看到有which 和伴随状语，一定要仔细分析句子逻辑结构。如果后一句的关系和前一句只是部分关联（比如先行词，或者某个名词）可以考虑非限制性定语从句；如果后一句和前一句的动词有关联(换句话说和前一句的动作发生有关联），则考虑伴随状语从句，排除C。
    最后，用代词指代排除A。

CrackingGMAC

我错了，毛毛，之前搞错了，我还以为是别的，发贴的时候没弄好，抱歉，这个我也来插一脚，之前的帖子我错了。TT

Municipal governments are beginning to confront the growing pension liabilities; this leads local politicians throughout the country to become increasingly vocal about restraining costs and limiting services.
A the growing pension liabilities; this leads
B their growing pension liabilities; leading
C the growth in their pension liabilities, which leads
D their growing pension liabilities, leading
E their growing pension liabilities, that leads
MEANING: governments begin to confront their growing pension liabilities. ---> leading to a result(=local politicians throughout the country to become increasingly vocal about restraining costs and limiting services.)
so, directly choose D
from GRAMMAR:
in A: firstly, this is wrong, without modifers, this can not exist independently. What 's more, I think liabilities is plural so this is single can not represent growing pension liabilities. Anyway, A is wrong technically.
in B: fisrtly, when ; appear,  you should know ;--> whole sentences separately must exist after ;
in C : leads can not follow liabilities. and which can not refer the whole sentence before.
inE :that is odd, and if this is a essential sentence, well ",that" is wrong. comma should not appear here. what is more, from meaning, that make similar mistake like this in A
SO, STILL CHOOSE D
