Sandra's dream was to become the first female mayor of her home city, but while running in the mayoral election, cancer was detected and another candidate had to be chosen.
(A) while running in the mayoral election, cancer was detected and another candidate had to be chosen.
(B) while running in the mayoral election, cancer was detected and another candidate was chosen.
(C) while running in the mayoral election, the cancer was detected and another candidate was chosen.
(D) while running in the mayoral election, Sandra's cancer was detected and another candidate had to be chosen.
(E) while running in the mayoral election, a cancer was detected and another candidate was chosen.
(A) while running in the mayoral election, cancer was detected and another candidate had to be chosen.
(B) while running in the mayoral election, cancer was detected and another candidate was chosen.
(C) while running in the mayoral election, the cancer was detected and another candidate was chosen.
(D) while running in the mayoral election, Sandra's cancer was detected and another candidate had to be chosen.
(E) while running in the mayoral election, a cancer was detected and another candidate was chosen.
explanation:
when we say cancer was detected--- it can mean cancer was detected in any part of the world therefore we must be specific with the fact that Sandra's cancer was detected!
had in sentence is the past tense of "have" and not the past perfect tense "had+be form of verb"- extra info
therefore option D is correct!

(D) while running in the mayoral election, Sandra's cancer was detected and another candidate had to be chosen.
(E) while running in the mayoral election, a cancer was detected and another candidate was chosen.
Imo D
We need proper sentence to make sense. Who had cancer? Sandra had cancer and therefore some other person was chosen as a result.
Other choices do not relate first and second part of the sentences properly.
