In little more than a decade, Argentina has become the world’s leading exporter of honey, with nearly 90,000 tons a year sold to foreign markets, almost half of which going to the United States.
A. with nearly 90,000 tons a year sold to foreign markets, almost half of which going
B. with the sale of nearly 90,000 tons a year to foreign markets, and almost half of it that goes
C. with the sale to foreign markets of nearly 90,000 tons a year, with almost half of it going
D. selling nearly 90,000 tons a year to foreign markets, and almost half of it goes
E. selling nearly 90,000 tons a year to foreign markets, with almost half going.
I am pretty much clear that answer option E is the right one except for one reason! In Option E – The last two sentences,
- “selling nearly 90,000…….”,
- “with almost half going …….” – seem to be dependent clauses.
There is a case of 2 dependent clauses separated by a “comma”. Please let me know if I am missing something important here because I see both of them not being able to function independently. In little more than a decade, Argentina has become the world’s leading exporter of honey, with nearly 90,000 tons a year sold to foreign markets, almost half of which going to the United States.
