A. ancestors of the modern Zuni and Hopi built and then, for reasons still mysterious, abandoned the complex roads and structures of the domain they ruled a millennium ago in the American southwest
B. reasons are still mysterious why the ancestors of the modern Zuni and Hopi built and then abandoned the complex roads and structures of the domain they ruled in the American southwest a millennium ago
C. modern Zuni and Hopi had ancestors who, a millennium ago, ruled a domain in the American southwest where they built and then abandoned complex roads and structures for still mysterious reasons
D. domain of the American southwest was ruled a millennium ago by the ancestors of the modern Zuni and Hopi, who built and then, for reasons still mysterious, abandoned complex roads and structures
E. complex roads and structures of the domain that the ancestors of the modern Zuni and Hopi ruled a millennium ago in the American southwest were built and then, for reasons still mysterious, abandoned
"For reasons still mysterious" seems weeird to me. How does it make sense? Who is known today by a name Anasazi , who ruled and then abandoned a domain? (definitely human being Isn't it) ancestors? (could be) Reasons ? (nonsensical) modern Zuni and Hopi? (could be) domain of the American southwest? (nonsensical) complex roads and structures ? (nonsensical) A and C C) modern Zuni and Hopi had ancestors who, a millennium ago, ruled a domain in the American southwest where they built and then abandoned complex roads and structures for still mysterious reason they does not have a clear referent because two plural nouns precede "they" - "modern Zuni and Hopi" and "ancestors" Hence choose A

"For reasons still mysterious" seems weeird to me. How does it make sense? i pick A. the non-underlined part of the sentence i.e. "Known today by a name they would not have recognized-Anasazi, Navajo for “ancient enemies" is incorrectly modified reasons, domain and complex roads, so B, D and E are out. C is just simply awkward to me because intended meaning is not clear. please correct me if I am wrong
