hi, your question is not clear... these are phrases that would modify the subject, so, I don't know what you mean.. your question is hard to answer because it is not a right question... hope it helps

I was asking about using because in adverb clauses.

for example

because it demands a lot of effort , Jamse has quit the job

or

because demanding a lot of effort , James has quit th job.

what is the right sentence to use and why?

When in doubt avoid gerunds. The "ing" form of any verb on the gmat is usually the wrong answer.

Where did you get these two sentences? The first one doesnt work b/c there is a misplaced modifier.
