My grandmother is the most remarkable person of all the persons I have ever met.


(A) My grandmother is the most remarkable person of all the persons I have ever met
'of all the persons' is redundant. 'most remarkable person' can stand alone.

(B) Of all the persons I have ever met, my grandmother is the most remarkable person
Correct IMO. Meaning is clear and maintains idea.

(C) Of all the persons I have ever met, the most remarkable person is my grandmother
'grandmother' should be the first noun that follows after the comma. Active is preferable over passive.

(D) Of all the persons I have met, the most remarkable is my grandmother
Same reasoning as C.

(E) My grandmother, of all the persons I have ever met, is the most remarkable
The idea that the grandmother is the 'most remarkable' does not fulfill the idea. It needs more information. i.e remarkable at what / remarkable + noun?

(D) Of all the persons I have met, the most remarkable is my grandmother

(E) My grandmother, of all the persons I have ever met, is the most remarkable


IMO,
Modifier, Of all the persons I have ever met, must modify my grandmother because she is the one amongst all the persons I have ever met. Only choices B and E follows the right modification, remaining choices out.

Now, between B and E, In B - the word person is redundant.

So, I will go with E as the right answer.

IMO: B

Initial modifier "of all the persons.." is correctly modifying "grandmother"

I think the "ever" is redundant since we already have past perfect tense, "I have met"; Also, there is no need to repeat "person" after remarkable to maintain concision(Ellipsis). Based on all the above premise, I went with D. In D, There is no modifier error as was stated by other replies; Of all the person is being compared to "The most remarkable[Person]" Since the person is omitted , the sentence might be misinterpreted.

Option (D) implies>> Of all the persons I have met, the most remarkable[Person] is my grandmother.

The word "ever" is not included and the word "person" is not repeated, maintaining concision. Hence D is the best choice.
