THEN is not a conjunction. Answer Choice (C) is wrong because it has two independent clauses without any linking conjunction.

People do sometimes use THEN as a conjunction, but such usage is considered incorrect.

Cut-paper design, a popular pastime of Colonial women, became an art form in the hands of Abigail Lefferts Lloyd, a Revolutionary War heroine.

daagh, Hello Sir,
I got this question right. However, I have a question.
How do I know that "women" is important for this SC, if I don't know the context?
What I think is that it is also possible for a lady to start a popular unisex pastime. In this sense, E also makes sense to me. I don't need to mention men's pastimes or women's pastimes.

You know 'women' is important in this context because all the other answer choices mention women. They tell us that cut-paper design was a popular pastime of Colonial women.

Ok, nice point. I feel I have seen many questions that lack contexts.
Thank you for your response.
