In the early 1990s, voice recognition software was an anathema to most medical and legal transcriptionists; now, however, most medical and legal transcriptionists accept it as desirable.

(A) to most medical and legal transcriptionists; now, however, most medical and legal transcriptionists accept it as desirable.
(B) to most medical and legal transcriptionists, now, however, most medical and legal transcriptionists accept it. OUT, Incorrect meaning.

(C) to most medical and legal transcriptionists; now, however, most medical and legal transcriptionists are desirable of it. OUT, Incorrect meaning.
(D) to most medical and legal transcriptionists; now, however, most medical and legal transcriptionists accepted it as desirable. OUT, Incorrect meaning.
(E) to most medical and legal transcriptionists. Now, however, most medical and legal transcriptionists will accept it as desirable. OUT, Incorrect meaning. Future tense with Now doesn't match.

IMO E.

Hi Folks,
Given sentence contains two independent clauses(IC1 & IC2) and they are joined by a semi-colon.
IC1: In the early 1990s, voice recognition software was an anathema to most medical and legal transcriptionists
IC2:now, however, most medical and legal transcriptionists accept it as desirable.
Subject Verb: None of the independent clauses has a SV error.
Pronoun: "It" correctly refers to singular subject of the IC1- voice recognition software.
Modifier: In the early 1990s, is in non underlined portion. "However" is between a comma pair. OK
Meaning: clear and crisp.
Looks like sentence is good as it is. Lets reject rest of the options on solid grounds.
Quote:
(A) to most medical and legal transcriptionists; now, however, most medical and legal transcriptionists accept it as desirable.
Correct
Quote:
(B) to most medical and legal transcriptionists, now, however, most medical and legal transcriptionists accept it.
Replacing semi-colon with a comma calls for a FANBOYS. So, this makes the sentence incorrect. Incorrect
Quote:
(C) to most medical and legal transcriptionists; now, however, most medical and legal transcriptionists are desirable of it.
Changes the meaning of the sentence. Incorrect
Quote:
(D) to most medical and legal transcriptionists; now, however, most medical and legal transcriptionists accepted it as desirable.
Past form of accept is unnecessary. Plus, using it with "now" makes no sense. Incorrect
Quote:
(E) to most medical and legal transcriptionists. Now, however, most medical and legal transcriptionists will accept it as desirable.
Use of simple future changes the meaning. Incorrect
