v04 Q07

As part of a unified scholarly approach, Symeon, an Eastern Orthodox saint often called “The New Theologian,” collected texts describing existing traditions and relayed them to his readers in a tone of great devotion and authority and borrowing from Asia some aspects of mystical practice.

(A)authority and borrowing from Asia some aspects of mystical practice
(B) authority, and borrowed from Asia some aspects of mystical practice
(C)authority along with the aspects of mystical practice he borrowed from Asia
(D)authority, borrowing from Asia some aspects of mystical practice
(E)authority borrowing some aspects of mystical practice from parts of Asia




Why 'C' is wrong? Explanation says "This option displaces the verb borrowed and is unnecessarily wordy." It doesn't look wordy. Infact it may mean that syemon relayed to his readers along with aspects of mystical practice (that) he has borrowed from Asia.

Please let me know if i am missing something.
