A. used the information obtained to find evidence supporting
B. used such information as they obtained to find evidence supporting
C.used the information they had obtained to find evidence that would support
D. of using the information they had obtained to find evidence that would support
E. of using such information as they obtained to find evidence that would be supportive of
i believe that ..used is the correct start to the underlined portion.
"she suspected the police of having illegally tapes ... and then [having] used.."
B clearly has a problem with "as"
I think we need a "had obtained" tense in this to suggest that the obtaining of information happened before the suspection.
so in my opinion i lock in C
Intially I was almost trapped for C... I got some reasoning why this choice is wrong..
(i) .....taped her confidential conversations...... used the information they had obtained ..... (These two are ||)
add having
(ii).....having taped her confidential conversations..... [having] used the information they had obtained ..... (These two are ||)
add illegally
(iii)...
of having illegally taped her confidential conversations.....
[of having illegally] used the information they had obtained ..... ( These two are ||)
(iv)
..of having illegally taped her confidential conversations..... of using the information they had obtained(These two are ||)
Out of (iii) and (iv) which one looks good?
I don't think police are illegally using the information , they illegally taped and using the information
So will go for D. correct me if I am wrong
