(D) surfing appeals to people due to the sport’s unusual confluence of adrenaline, skill, and high paced maneuvering, a backdrop that is unpredictable and that is, by turns, gracefully and serenely violent and formidable, and the camaraderie that often develops
(E) surfing appeals to people due to their unusual confluence of adrenaline, skill, and high paced maneuvering, an unpredictable backdrop that is, by turns, graceful and serene, violent and formidable, and the camaraderie that often develops A very good question for practicing modifiers . Imo A Originally developed by ancient Hawaiians should modify "surfing " . B and D does not have proper noun that the highlighted modifier modifies.So they are out E is out because it uses their for the singular noun Surfing Between A and D We difference in the placement of "that " and in D that is used twice which i think is not necessary . There is error in the parallel list as well gracefully and serenely violent and formidable .Here gracefully and serenely act as adverbs so they should modify violent .This does not make sense . A is more concise and is elegant as compared to D So the answer is A
