Finding the view from the mountains fascinating, all that was there to see was thoroughly explored by Caesar.


(A) Finding the view from the mountains fascinating, all that was there to see was thoroughly explored by Caesar.

(B) Caesar found the view from the mountains fascinating, he thoroughly explored all that was there to see.

(C) Finding the view from the mountains fascinating, Caesar’s exploration covered all that was there to see.

(D) The view from the mountains is fascinating and is the reason why all that was there to see was thoroughly explored by Caesar.

(E) Caesar found the view from the mountains fascinating and thoroughly explored all that was there to see.





Official Explanation:



Answer: E

In the original sentence, the modifying phrase — Finding the view from the mountains fascinating, - should be followed by whoever is finding this view fascinating, that is, Caesar. Both A and C get this wrong, so eliminate them.

B is a run-on sentence since it uses a comma to join two independent clauses. The passive construction in D appears very awkward compared to the active one in E, which is the correct answer.
