Does any expert have an explaination for this question?
Thank you
in A and B after what it has no sense because IT has an unclear antecedent: it refers to germany. Moreover, it doen'st appear by itself. so out
C D E
C appear was an ancient .........hunting ground.....AND is stunning...... clearly not parallel and the sentence doesn't show a clear meaning
E stunning of human is wrong . simply becasue the eveidence shows something so we need a restrictive pronoun "that". Using OF distort the meaning.
D wins. I admit that this question is pretty tough and convoluted.
regards
Is "C" not parallel just because of Present and Past tenses? or is there something else to it too?
