Can someone help me to understand problem 60 & 75.

On problem 60, I want to understand what is the function of word "Causing" and whats does it modifies.

On problem 75, I want to understand why choice "C" is not logically modifying "58.7 million".



Thanks....

60.

In choice A, "tearing" is intended to be used as a gerund, but without
the word "the" it the sentence is unclear and "tearing" appears to be a
verb.

In the non-underlined part, "causing" is a verb.



75.

To modify "$58.7 million" we need to include "an amount that is" before "almost 6 percent
... " makes it clear that it is the 58.7 that is being modified. Without this it is
unclear exactly what is 6 percent higher.
