When Nigeria achieved full independence in 1960, they had already established a federal political structure consisting of three regions based on the three major population clusters that were in its borders.
I couldn't see the difference between 'They' vs 'it' split.
I can rule out E, because of 'being' and 'it', but the others I have no idea.
Please help.
Thanks.
you could have picked the correct one from they vs it split from the non-underlined part its borders. Hence we require a singular subject it to refer to Nigeria.(A)
they had already established a federal political structure consisting of three regions based on the three major population clusters that were in
(B)
they already had established a federal political structure consisting of three regions that was based on the three major population clusters inside
(C)
they already had established a federal political structure that consisted of three regions based on the three major population clusters in
(D) it
had already established a federal political structure that consisted of three regions based on the three major population clusters within
(E) it already had established a federal political structure consisting of three regions
being based on the three major population clusters
it had within
E is wrong for incorrect construction "already had" and for wrong tense in "it had within" . it has within changes the meaning.
