a) The suit made superbly by the tailor, causing

The official answer to this one is 'D'. What is wrong with the original sentence?
First of all we need to be extra cautious with emotional verbs such as
feel.
A) Here suit was made by the Tailor, so correct construction should have been:
The suit made superbly by the tailor,
caused the man [to] feel like a lion. Also caused is used when one condition caused some other, for example,
Your carelessness has caused me to spend 20 extra minutes...
B)The suit was altered superbly by the tailor, causing
Here I have the problem with
causing..Also we have a better option..anyways keep it on hold.
C)When the suit can be made superbly by the tailor, it caused..also wrong.
When starts a clause and we expect another clause after the comma.
For example:
When suit can be made superbly by the tailor, kurtas can also be made in same way.
D)The suit was altered superbly by the tailor, making
Looks nice , keep it on hold.
E)The
altered suit is
made superbly by the tailor, causing
Too wordy and how come an altered suit is made superbly...suit is altered or suit is made...seems to be too wordy. Not a good choice.
Among D and B if we compare
b) The suit was altered superbly by the tailor,
causingd) The suit was altered superbly by the tailor,
makingThe verb make seems more promising, as that suit made old man look like a lion. SO answer should be D.
