E - seems to use the correct tense
A scientist has determined that a recently discovered Native American artifact, preserved since approximately 1345 AD, is composed of woven acrylic, a fabric previously thought to have been invented 632 years later.
A - incorrectly modifies scientist with 'a fabric previously thought'.
E corrects this by placing this modifier next to acrylic
Also - A uses passive voice
