including the education of priests and expansion of the Holy See’s influence in France including the confirmation of the Concordat of Bologna and abrogation of the Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges.(A) including the education of priests and expansion of the Holy See’s influence in France including the confirmation of the Concordat of Bologna and abrogation of the Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges
This option is a bit confusing due to the repeated use of “including”. Incorrect
(B) that included the education of priests, and for expansion of the Holy See’s influence in France to include the confirmation of the Concordat of Bologna and abrogation of the Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges
Incorrect - the use of ",and" creates a slightly less parallel structure. The conjunction ",and" suggests a continuation of the list, but the phrase "and for expansion" doesn't match the structure of the preceding clause. The phrase 'to include' suggests what the expansion involved.
(C) with the education of priests included and for expansion of the Holy See’s influence in France to include the confirmation of the Concordat of Bologna and abrogation of the Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges
incorrect - the phrase “with the education of priests included” is a bit awkward.
(D) to include the education of priests and for expansion of the Holy See’s influence in France with the confirmation of the Concordat of Bologna and abrogation of the Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges included
incorrect - the placement of "with" at the end of the sentence creates ambiguity.
(E) that included the education of priests and for expansion of the Holy See’s influence in France through the confirmation of the Concordat of Bologna and abrogation of the Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges
correct - This option is clear and concise. It maintains a parallel structure and logical coherence.
