Dear Friends,
Here is a detailed explanation to this question-
Choice A: Option A incorrectly states that the study was conducted into the grammar of the Hopi Indians, rather than the grammar of their language. A group of people cannot be said to have grammar; grammar is a feature exclusive to languages. Thus, Option A is incorrect.
Choice B: Option B incorrectly suggests that the study was conducted into the Hopi Indians, rather than the grammar of the Indians’ language. Moreover, Option B also suggests that the system of classifying tenses is a feature of the Hopi Indians, rather than of their language. Thus, Option B is incorrect.
Choice C: Option C conveys the intended meaning of the sentence correctly. Thus, Option C is correct.
Choice D: Option D incorrectly suggests that the Hopi Indians were the subject of study, rather than the grammar of their language. Moreover, by omitting the word "a" this answer choice also changes the meaning of this sentence to refer to the generalized study (verb), rather than a singular study (noun). Finally, Option D also misidentifies the system of assigning tenses as an attribute of the Hopi Indians, rather than of their language. Thus, Option D is incorrect.
Choice E: Option E alters the meaning of the sentence entirely by omitting any mention of the study; it also misidentifies the system of assigning tenses as an attribute of the Hopi Indians, rather than of their language. Thus, Option E is incorrect.
Hence, C is the best answer choice.
All the best!
