The NCIED was then, as it is now, the first and most successful national organization solely
dedicated to developing American Indian economic self-sufficiency through business ownership.
A. then, as it is now, the first and most successful
B. first and most successful as a
C. then first and now the most successful
D. the first, and remains the most successful,
E. the first and still the most successful
OA..........
I would rather choose E.
A. then, as it is now, the first and most successful
implies that the organization was then the first and now also the first. I feel that the first will remain the first; there is absolutely no need of repeating that he is now also the first. ex- Neil Armstrong was the first human to land on Moon. No matter how many humans now land on Moon, Neil will remain forever the first human to land on Moon.B. first and most successful as a
"THE" is missing. It is a must in this case.C. then first and now the most successful
"then first" implies that at the previous moment it was the "first" organization to have bla bla but now some other organization have replaced it.D. the first, and remains the most successful,
It undermines the second part "remains the most successful" E. the first and still the most successful
