The tallest building in the world constructed in the 1100s is the St. Mary’s Cathedral
in Lincoln, England, which, nearly 520 feet tall and having 20 bells spread across 3
towers.
(A) 1100s is the St. Mary’s Cathedral in Lincoln, England, which, nearly 520 feet tall and
having 20 bells
ERROR;- although verb is there. WHICH wrongly modifies England. portion after which is NOT parallel

(B) 1100s, the St. Mary’s Cathedral in Lincoln, England, nearly 520 feet tall and has 20
bells
ERROR:- VERB missing in first part before AND

(C) 1100s, the St. Mary’s Cathedral in Lincoln, England, which is nearly 520 feet tall and
has 20 bells.
ERROR:- WHICH is wrongly placed, not required here

(D) 1100s, is the St. Mary’s Cathedral in Lincoln, England, being nearly 520 feet tall and
with 20 bells
ERROR:- modifier problem after ENGLAND

(E) 1100s, the St. Mary’s Cathedral in Lincoln, England, is nearly 520 feet tall and has 20
bells
CORRECT as it is
