A) -
B) Radar, sent from Earth and orbiting spacecraft, has mapped cloud-shrouded Venus, and the images suggest a geology intermediate between that of Earth and that of Mars.
C) Intermediate between Earth and Mars, Venus' geology has been mapped through its clouds by radar images from Earth and by orbiting spacecraft.
D) From the Earth and spacecraft in orbit, radar has mapped cloud-shrouded Venus, intermediate between Earth and Mars, and images suggest its geology.
E) Venus' geology, shrouded by clouds, is intermediate between Earth and Mars, which is suggested by maps that have been made by radar images from Earth and orbiting spacecraft.
Pls explain your answer.
A is clearly incorrect coz "whose" has no clear antecedent.
C is wrong coz "its" of "its clouds" seems to modify "Venus's geology" , this is wrong cause "its" must modify "Venus".
D also changed the original meaning coz what is "intermediate between Earth and Mars" is "Venus' geology" , not "Venus" alone.
E changed the OM,too coz what is "shrouded by clouds" is "venus" , not "venus's geology"
B seems the most logical.
