Precisely built according to the specifications, the metro people placed the pillar on the cantilever, which was specially imported from an Engineering Giant in Germany.

A. Precisely built according to the specifications, the metro people placed the pillar on the cantilever
B. The metro people precisely built the pillar according to the specifications and placed it on the cantilever
C. The metro people placed the pillar, precisely built according to the specifications , on the cantilever
D. The metro people built the pillar precisely according to the specifications and placed it on the cantilever
E. The metro people built the pillar according to the specifications precisely and placed it on the cantilever

ANS:- D
A is wrong because of wrong modifier...
in rest of choices, it is more to do with placing of 'precisely' and change the activity it modifies...
as per me, 'precisely' should modify 'according to the specifications',therefore 'precisely' should precede 'according to the specifications'....... so D

Well, I am confused!! I thought D is changing the meaning of the sentence.

What's the OA???

OA is C

D does change the meaning!

Great question.

I picked up 'D' as well to begin with. C makes sense.
