i almost got this problem right. However, i found that the punctuation in the answer E was not correct. Shouldn't this opening clause be followed by a comma rather than by a point ?
am I missing something here ?
thx in advance for answering !

The period after war must be a typo. In fact, in the text, the punctuation is not even underlined. Take it as a comma, and you will find E as the best fit.
