Hey guys,
Can anyone explain to me while E is correct because I found a comma (highlighted in all five above sentences) that make the main verb 'address' separated from its main subject 'scientists'?
So I don't think E is correct, neither all other four choices

Scientists who endeavor to explain the way scientific work was done in the laboratories of the seventeenth-century chemists, must address a fundamental inconsistency between the way such experiments were actually performed and the way the seventeenth-century rhetoric describing them

A. Scientists who endeavor to explain the way scientific work was done in the laboratories of the seventeenth-century chemists, must address a fundamental inconsistency between the way such experiments were actually performed and the way the seventeenth-century rhetoric describing them - the verbs 'were..performed' is in the past tense, whereas 'describing' is in the present progressive tense; but the actions commanded by both these verbs took place in the past. Hence, both these verbs should have been indicated in the past tense verb form.

B. Scientists who endeavor to explain how scientific work was done in the laboratories of the seventeenth-century chemists, and must address the fundamental inconsistency in the way such experiments were actually performed and the way the seventeenth-century rhetoric described them - there is a parallelism error here: Scientists who...., and must address... are not parallel clauses.

C. Scientists endeavoring to explain how scientific work was done in the laboratories of the seventeenth-century chemists, and who must address a fundamental inconsistency distorting the actual manner of such experiments from the description by the seventeenth-century rhetoric. - has a parallelism error: Scientists endeavoring...., and who must... are not parallel clauses.

D. Scientists endeavoring to explain how scientific work was done in the laboratories of the seventeenth-century chemists, must address a fundamental inconsistency of the actual manner of such experiments and the way the seventeenth-century rhetoric described it - the pronoun ''it'' has several possible antecedents (scientific work, inconsistency, rhetoric)

E. Scientists who endeavor to explain how scientific work was done in the laboratories of the seventeenth-century chemists, must address a fundamental inconsistency between how such experiments were actually performed and how the same were described by the seventeenth-century rhetoric - has no error. Hence, (E) is the right answer choice.

Ghost Answer -
Scientists who endeavor to explain the way scientific work was done in the laboratories of the seventeenth-century chemists, must address a fundamental inconsistency between the way such experiments were actually performed and the way the seventeenth-century rhetoric described them.

A - The "describing" is not parallel to the verb performed.
B - The word who after scientists makes the part not very important to the whole sentence, and hence can be removed. Hence if we read the whole sentence after removing the part from who, it becomes scientists and ........ which makes no sense. hence eliminate b.
C - Again the word and is not required after the coma. hence eliminate C.
D - There can be inconsistency Between two things. The absence of the word between makes the sentence incorrect. Hence eliminate D.
E - A perfect parallelism - "between how such experiments were actually performed and how the same were described by the seventeenth-century rhetoric". Plus the first part of the sentence is also in perfect flow with the second part of the sentence. Hence answer is E.
