A)
- Idiom: "associated both with" is incorrect. Correct form should be "associated with …".
- Idiom: Correct use of “both” is “both A and B”. It is incorrect to say “both A and, in addition, B”
- Two verbs “has been found” and “indicates” are connected using comma + and -- this is incorrect.
- Sentence does not make sense. The sentence implies that not the fact of association but the skull itself indicates that modern humans developed much earlier than previously thought
B)
- Idiom: "associated both with" is incorrect. Correct form should be "associated with …".
- S-V disagreement: “a skull” is singular and “have been found” is plural.
- Modifier issue: “which” is modifying “Eritrea” whereas, according to the intended meaning, “which” should refer to the fact of association.
C) Correct. Here singular subject "a skull" is referred by singular verb "has been". Idioms "associated with" and “both A and B” are used correctly. There is no incorrect modifier.
D)
- There is no main verb and the whole sentence is a fragment.
E)
- S-V disagreement: “a skull” is singular and “have been found” is plural.
- Modifier issue: “which” is modifying “Eritrea” whereas, according to the intended meaning, “which” should refer to the fact of association.
Correct answer is C.

Correct Answer should be C
A) redundant use of in addition. Incorrect usage associated both with x and y. Independent clause and indicates………… is creating confusion. It should logically modify the whole preceding clause, but in this case it tends to modify only skull
B) (Plural) have does not agree with singular subject skull. Incorrect usage associated both with x and y. No clear referent for which
C) Correct Choice. S-V agreement followed. Correct Usage associated with both x and y. Conversion of second independent clause in to a modifier indicating that ………… corrects the error made in choice A. It clearly modifies the whole preceding clause and expresses the consequences of discovery.
D) Sentence Fragment Error. No verb in the whole sentence
E) Incorrect for the same reasons sited in Choice B
