Japan’s abundant rainfall and the typically mild temperature throughout most of the country have produced a lush vegetation cover and, despite the mountainous terrain and generally poor soils, it has made possible the raising of a variety of crops.
A) it has made possible the raising of
B) has made possible fro them to raise
C) have made it possible to raise
D) have made it possible for raising
E) thus making it possible for them to raise
E) thus making it possible for them to raise
Ans: C
Parallellism between ‘…mild temperature throughout most of the country have produced a lush….. ‘
and
have made it possible to raise
Hence C.
Ans should be C.
1. Subject “Japan’s abundant rainfall and the typically mild temperature” is plural and hence ‘have’ should be there as plural verb.
2. Verb forms for a particular subject in a sentence should be similar unless and until there is a very strong reason to use different verb forms and therefore, ‘made’ has to be used following ‘produced’.
3. ‘raising of’ has a different meaning than ‘to raise’ and is not a correct idiom here. Also an infinitive form of verb ‘to raise’ is required in this sentence.

yepp ..it C ..
-in A , there is no proper reference for “it”. Hence wrong.
- “them” is a dangling modifier, though it generally refers tothe Japanese, it must be explicitly stated. Hence B, E eliminated.
- in D, use of “raising” is not needed as its looks wordy, awkward.
So, C is the answer
Option C

E For SUre

It is C. Subject-Verb agreement, as the subject is ___ and ____ thus making it plural and then requiring have(and not has).This narrows down the choice to only C and D.D is wordy and awkward thus C is the correct answer.
