D and E are out because of wrong modifier
in B had is used incorrectly,the sentence doesn't talk about two incidents in past so usage of had is wrong
C- usage of HAD at the end of sentence is wrong
ans is A

Can someone please provide color on how C is wrong?

I assumed had was there to indicate an action in the past.

Hi syedazeem3, I would be happy to answer your query, there are couple of problems with option C- "that developed at the same time as the origin of native dance form called Odissi had"
1. Use of had is for sequencing of past events- I had gone and ate lunch (first I went and then I ate, note that both are in the past). As we can see that the intended meaning of sentence is to describe development of dance and musical instruments is contemporary. Use of simple present/past tense is suggested for a
2. "had" used alone is not a complete verb and therefore it is making this sentence a fragment.

Hope this helps, Like= +Kudos

Research of fine arts during the Kalinga rule should not exclude the oft ignored advances in design of musical instruments that developed at the same time as the origin of native dance form called Odissi.

A. that developed at the same time as the origin of native dance form called Odissi
B. that had developed at the same time as had the origin of native dance form called Odissi
C. that developed at the same time as the origin of native dance form called Odissi had
D. developing at the same time as the origin of native dance form called Odissi did
E. developing at the same time as the origin of native dance form called Odissi were



The comparison here is between the time something had developed and the origin of something else....both the time and the origin are referring to a particular period of time. In B,C,D and E the implied meaning is that the origin had/did/were developed. Thats nonsensical as the origin cannot develop....it would be the dance form that can develop. Option A removes this confusion and simply compares the time period of two things....Therefore A is correct.
