A recent study of ancient clay deposits has provided new evidence supporting the theory of global forest fires ignited by a meteorite impact that contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs and many other creatures some 65 million years ago.

For (B)

It's not "a meteorite impact" but "global forest fires" contributed to the extinction.

(A) supporting the theory of global forest fires ignited by a meteorite impact that

"that" modifies "a meteorite impact" = the reason of the extinction => wrong meaning => out

(B) supporting the theory that global forest fires ignited by a meteorite impact

"global forest fires ignited by a meteorite impact" = noun phrase and "contributed" is the verb of "global forest fires" => good one

(C) that supports the theory of global forest fires that were ignited by a meteorite impact and that

=> awkward => out

(D) in support of the theory that global forest fires were ignited by a meteorite impact and that

=> "the theory" contributed to the extinction => wrong meaning => out

(E) of support for the theory of a meteorite impact that ignited global forest fires and

=> "a meteorite impact" contributed to the extinction => out

Em cũng chọn B. Giải thích như bác vnf là khá chuẩn rồi.

Bác Ngotrung, lần sau bác post thì bác có thể gạch chân đoạn cần sửa cho dễ nhìn được không? (Mắt em hơi có vấn đề :D )

[ngotrung]

Cái này mình đọc giải thích ở OG rồi, cái mình k hiểu là "a meteorite impact" cũng có thể gây extinction chứ có phải nhất thiếu là forest fire đâu

Câu này em lần trước làm em cũng thắc mắc giống anh Trung, GMAT nhiều khi khá khó hiểu.
