1. The statement has a reporting form and so the use of 'that' after 'makes clear' is necessary.

2. Nubians is clearly mentioned to be a site and so, to refer to the people of that site, we must use 'the Nubians'.

3. Artistic elements of Egypt are compared to Artistic elements of sub-Saharan Africa and not any specific element and so we must use 'those' to refer to the plural (elements).

From (1), we can eliminate (A) & (C)

From (2), we can eliminate (E)

From (3), we can eliminate (B) [(A) & (C) contain this error as well]

IMO Answer is (D)

Hit Kudos if this helped!

The exhibition of art from Nubians, the site of a Black civilization that goes back to the fourth millennium B.C., makes clear the Nubians combined artistic elements from Egypt to that of sub-Saharan Africa.

(A) the Nubians combined artistic elements from Egypt to that
(B) that the Nubians combined artistic elements from Egypt to that
(C) the Nubians combined artistic elements from Egypt with that
(D) that the Nubians combined artistic elements from Egypt with those
(E) that Nubians combined artistic elements from Egypt and those


To start off, you cannot say "combine A to B", it is the wrong usage of the word combine so it has to be "combine A with B".
Therefore, options A and B are out.
If you look at option E, here also, the word "combine" is being used with "and" so for this reason, you can strike off option E.

Next, if you check the prompt, we are combining "elements", the plural form, so we cannot use "that". the singular form. Hence we have to use "those" with "elements".
Therefore, option C is out.

Now, you are left with option D, which has all the correct ingredients, and hence the correct choice.

combine A with B is the correct idiom
so A, B, and E are out
now in option C and D
C incorrectly uses that to refer back to artistic elements which are plural so out
D is the answer
