standing, demonstrating that with sound design and maintenance, wooden buildings can last indefinitely the OA is A but if we consider A demonstrating that with sound design and maintenanceis a modifier which is in double commas so it only gives an extra information in other words it can be removed and the rest of the sentence should stand. Some of the tenth-century stave churches of Norway are still standing,[strike]demonstrating that with sound design and maintenance[/strike], wooden buildings can last indefinitely. i dont think it makes sense. so if we think its not a an extra info it should have a verb. there is no verb in demonstrating that with sound design and maintenancePlease Explain Guys

Hi Ravi, are these answer options right? I am finding difficult now to chose one. all look weird, 'and they'; 'they... it' combination is awkward. what is the answer?

How is 'they' ambiguous? Going by the 'SANAM' pronouns rule, 'tenth century stave churches' is the subject and 'they' correctly refers back to the churches. could someone elaborate on eliminating the incorrect choices?
