The ancient Olympic games were held every four years, a period of time known as an Olympiad; usage of an Olympiad as a unit of time in ancient histories is sometimes credited to Eratosthenes, who was chief librarian at the Library of Alexandria and is known for his calculation of the circumference of the Earth and for the Earth’s axial tilt as well as for his introduction of the sieve of Eratosthenes, an ancient algorithm for finding prime numbers.
(A) usage of an Olympiad as a unit of time in ancient histories is sometimes credited to Eratosthenes, who was chief librarian at the Library of Alexandria and is known for his calculation of the circumference of the Earth and for
calculation of two things is implied ie, circumference of the Earth and the the Earth’s axial tilt..'for' in the end needs to be removed
(B) the use of an Olympiad as a unit of time in ancient histories is sometimes credited to Eratosthenes, who was chief librarian at the Library of Alexandria and is known for his calculation of the circumference of the Earth and
conveys the intended meaning as regards calculation of two things --- circumference of the Earth and the the Earth’s axial tilt
(C) the use of an Olympiad as a unit of time in ancient histories is sometimes credited to Eratosthenes, chief librarian at the Library of Alexandria, known for his calculation of the circumference of the Earth and of
comma splice as well as incorrect parallelism in the end
(D) usage of an Olympiad as a unit of time in ancient histories is sometimes credited to Eratosthenes, who was chief librarian at the Library of Alexandria and known for his calculation of the circumference of the Earth and
incorrect paralelisim in the end..ie, 'is' should be inserted before known for his calculation
(E) the use of an Olympiad as a unit of time in ancient histories is sometimes credited to Eratosthenes, who was chief librarian at the Library of Alexandria and is known for his calculation of the circumference of the Earth and for
calculation of two things is implied ie, circumference of the Earth and the the Earth’s axial tilt..'for' in the end needs to be removed
(B) is the correct answer
