should be A or E. as its the town which is famous because of the Godfather and not the mobster. I think i ll go with A . E looks a bit lengthy.
My thinking in ruling out E was that " According to Italy's top anti-Mafia prosecutror" needs to follow " the ailing mobster". Instead it modifies the town, Corleone .
I think E is wrong because of the tense of the sentence.
"Corleone" WAS the town that the ailing mobster WENT to. I dont think CAME to is right since WAS is in the past tense.
I think the flaw with E is passive voice plus the noun 'carolene' is separated from its verb, is the town, unnecessarily.
when A provides a better option, why to go for twisted sentence as in E.
