Misplaced modifier
(B) As an expert at repairing all kinds of electrical engines, Edward regarded the new project involving the repair and maintenance of pumping motors in all the buildings of the condominium as just the kind of assignment he
Correct
(C) As an expert at repairing all kinds of electrical engines, the new project involving the repair and maintenance of pumping motors in all the buildings of the condominium was considered just the kind of assignment Edward
Misplaced modifier
(D) Edward was an expert at repairing all kinds of electrical engines, thus the new project involving the repair and maintenance of pumping motors in all the buildings of the condominium was just the kind of assignment he
"thus" indicates a causal relationship and that is incorrect for this statement
(E) Edward, as an expert at repairing all kinds of electrical engines, considered the new project involving the repair and maintenance of pumping motors in all the buildings of the condominium to be just the kind of assignment he
incorrect modifier - "as an expert" suggests Edward assumes that role while the modifier should suggest "Edward, an expert..."
