Can someone clarify this problem.
This is my thought.
I eliminate B because of the word "was" . This sentence indicates a very clear time frame so I think that present perfect is needed.
Second, the word "but" and "and" I think "but" is preferred
Last, "And" is a connector that shows parallelism. In choice B, I think it breaks the rule because of "it"
