Some of them burned out eons ago, the night sky is spotted with thousands of stars.


(A) Some of them burned out eons ago, the night sky is spotted with thousands of stars.

(B) Burned out eons ago, the night sky is spotted with many thousands of stars.

(C) Thousands of stars, some of them burned out eons ago, are spotting the night sky.

(D) The night sky is spotted with thousands of stars, some of which are burnt out eons ago.

(E) The night sky is spotted with thousands of stars, some of them burned out eons ago.

MANHATTAN REVIEW OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:



This question involves dangling modifiers. What burned out eons ago? Thousands of stars did. ‘Thousands of stars’ and not ‘the night sky’ must therefore come after the comma. Eliminate A and B. C has an incorrect tense. It should be ‘spot’ and not ‘are spotting’. Choice D also has a mistake in tense. The stars are not burnt out at present, they burned out a long time ago. Choice E is the correct answer.
