Re: In a crowded, acquisitive world, the disappearance of lifestyles such

In a crowded, acquisitive world, the disappearance of lifestyles such as those once followed by southern Africa's Bushman and Australia's aborigines, requiring vast wild spaces and permitting little accumulation of goods, seem inevitably doomed.

IMO inevitably doomed may sound funny to many, however it doesn't have much of bearing on incorrect answer choices as there are various other serious issues in incorrect choices. Will try to highlight major ones:

(A) requiring vast wild spaces and permitting little accumulation of goods, seem inevitably doomed (illogically modifies Africa's Bushman and Australia's aborigines)
(B) requiring vast wild spaces and permitting little accumulation of goods, seems to be inevitably doomed (illogically modifies Africa's Bushman and Australia's aborigines)
(C) which require vast wild spaces and permit little accumulation of goods, seems to be inevitably doomed (which again illogically modifies Africa's Bushman and Australia's aborigines, Africa's Bushman and Australia's aborigines don't require vast wild spaces and permit little accumulation of goods)
(D) life-styles that require vast wild spaces and permit little accumulation of goods, seem inevitable (what does that refer to? Ambigous. Also disappearance of lifestyles is in prepositional phrase, disappearance is the subject thus seem [plural] verb is incorrect)
(E) life-styles requiring vast wild spaces and permitting little accumulation of goods, seems inevitable (correctly mentions lifestyles again to remove ambiguity and maintains parallel structure in requiring - permitting, uses correct S-V, best choice)
