option f reads 'is about as close as.......', but in detailed solution it reads 'Sara Sager is about as close as.....'. This completely changes the grammatical validity of the sentence. please take a look

Question:

DIRECTIONS: In the following questions, two columns are given containing three sentences/phrases in each. In the first column, sentences/phrases are A, B and C and in the second column the sentences/phrases are D, E and F. A sentence/phrase from the first column may or may not connect with another sentence/phrase from the second column to make a grammatically and contextually correct sentence. Each question has five options, four of which display the sequence(s) in which the sentences /phrases can be joined to form a grammatically and contextually correct sentence. If none of the options given forms a correct sentence after combination, mark (e), i.e. “None of these” as your answer.           

Column (1):

Column (2):

(A) Filmy shopping bags have been targeted because their lightweight nature 

(D) about so close to their stars that a year lasts less than a day.

Options:
A) A-D   
B) B-E 
C) C-F
D) B-E and C-F 
E) None of these 
Solution:
Explanation: The correct answer choice is option (d). The correct sentences are B-E and C-F both. The correct sentences should read ‘According to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, an estimated 23 billion plastic bags are used by residents across the state annually’, and ‘In her office on the 17th floor of MIT’s Building 54, Sara Sager is about as close to space as you can get in Cambridge, Massachusetts’. Rest of the choices fail to make grammatically and semantically correct sentences.
