Experts' Global Official Explanation:

Modifiers + Pronouns + Redundancy/Awkwardness

Understanding the intended meaning is key to solving this question; the intended meaning of this sentence is that the academicians used the accounts of Shakespeare’s contemporaries to reconstruct a rough timeline of his life and career.

    • In the “phrase + comma + noun” construction, the phrase must correctly modify the noun; this is one of the most frequently tested concepts on GMAT sentence correction.

A. Trap. This answer choice incorrectly uses “based on accounts of his contemporaries” to modify “academicians”, illogically implying that the academicians are based on the accounts of his (Shakespeare’s) contemporaries; the intended meaning of the sentence is that the academicians used the accounts of Shakespeare’s contemporaries to reconstruct a rough timeline of his life and career.

B. This answer choice features a pronoun error, as the pronoun “it” has no clear referent.

C. This answer choice uses the needlessly wordy phrase “used for a basis”, leading to awkwardness.

D. Correct. This answer choice correctly uses “using accounts of his contemporaries” to modify “academicians have reconstructed” conveying the intended meaning of the sentence- that the academicians used the accounts of Shakespeare’s contemporaries to reconstruct a rough timeline of his life and career.

E. This answer choice alters the meaning of the sentence through the phrase “by the account of his contemporaries they used”; the construction of this phrase incorrectly implies that the academicians used a singular account drawn from his (Shakespeare’s) contemporaries to reconstruct a rough timeline of his life and career; the intended meaning of this sentence is that the academicians used the accounts of Shakespeare’s contemporaries to reconstruct a rough timeline of his life and career.

D is the best answer choice.

The correct sentence is (D) Using accounts of his contemporaries. It is grammatically correct because it uses the present participle “using” as a gerund to modify the noun “academicians” and create a participial phrase that functions as an adverbial phrase of manner. The phrase “based on accounts of his contemporaries” is also grammatically correct but it is not as concise as the phrase “using accounts of his contemporaries”.

(A) Based on accounts of his contemporaries - This sentence is grammatically correct but it is not as concise as the phrase “using accounts of his contemporaries”.

(B) Basing it on his contemporaries’ accounts - This sentence is incorrect because it uses the present participle “basing” as a gerund to modify the pronoun “it” which is unclear and does not have a clear antecedent.

(C) With accounts of his contemporaries used for a basis - This sentence is incorrect because it uses a prepositional phrase “with accounts of his contemporaries” to modify the noun “basis” which is awkward and unclear.

(E) By the account of his contemporaries they used - This sentence is incorrect because it uses a prepositional phrase “by the account of his contemporaries” to modify the pronoun “they” which is unclear and does not have a clear antecedent.

the answer is D because the underlying part should modify the subject which is the academicians.
Hence the academicians use is make sense

Imo D is correct as they must have used Shakespeare's contemporaries' accounts to gather information about him since there were no first hand accounts provided by him that they could have used. Option a could not be the right ans as his contemporaries did not provide accounts about him exclusively but about themselves which were then used by academicians to get a rough timeline of Shakespeare's life
Answer D

_______________________________________________________________
Understanding the meaning of the question is important to solve it. We cant separate answer choices by the use of pronoun '' his'' as all the choices contain it. Let's take a look at answer choices.

A- ''Based on'' modifies ''Academics''. It is incorrect. Academics cant be based on accounts. Illogic meaning. A is out.
B - ''Basing'' modifies ''Academics''. Intended meaning of the answer choice is distorted. B is out.
C - Use of ''with'' as a modifier is not preferred in gmat. Moreover, ''used for a basis'' is not correct. C is out
D - ''Using'' modifies ''Academics''. It gives precise meaning. Let's keep D.
E - Answer choice has some redundant portions such as '' they used'' , but we can compare it to other answer choices. Keep E.

Between Dand E. E is wordy and D gives more precise meaning than E does.

D is our winner.
Hope it helps.

Based on accounts of his contemporaries, academicians have reconstructed a rough timeline of the life and career of William Shakespeare, who left behind virtually no firsthand accounts of his childhood in Stratford-upon-Avon or career in London.

IMO A

(A) Based on accounts of his contemporaries - correct
(B) Basing it on his contemporaries’ accounts - present tense basing it is at odds with past tense construction of sentence
(C) With accounts of his contemporaries used for a basis - changes the meaning
(D) Using accounts of his contemporaries - using it doesn’t work in this situation
(E) By the account of his contemporaries they used - they used is repetitive with academicians

The answer is D
Statement A uses based on and have in the later sentence. Hence there is incorrect tense usage here.
Statement B uses basing it which is incorrect tense to describe something that happened in the past.
Statement C uses with accounts- that leads to ambiguity over the logical meaning of the sentence.
Statement D uses using and have which is logically parallel and uses the correct tense
Statement E uses By the accounts which is logically incorrect

Re: Around the World in 80 Questions (Day 7): Based on accounts of his [#permalink] New post   25 Jul 2023, 09:46
Option (A) "Based on accounts of his contemporaries" is the clearest and most concise phrasing, effectively conveying the information about how academicians have reconstructed the timeline of William Shakespeare's life and career.

Option (B) "Basing it on his contemporaries’ accounts" introduces the pronoun "it," which is unnecessary and slightly awkward. The original sentence already provides a clear subject ("academicians") without the need for an additional pronoun.

Option (C) "With accounts of his contemporaries used for a basis" is wordy and less clear than option (A). The phrase "used for a basis" is less direct and can be simplified to "based on" in option (A).

Option (D) "Using accounts of his contemporaries" is a viable option, but it slightly changes the emphasis of the sentence. Option (A) is more effective in emphasizing that the reconstruction is "based on" accounts.

Option (E) "By the account of his contemporaries they used" is grammatically incorrect and awkward. It introduces unnecessary repetition and lacks clarity.

Therefore, the most effective sentence is option (A).

Based on accounts of his contemporaries, academicians have reconstructed a rough timeline of the life and career of William Shakespeare, who left behind virtually no firsthand accounts of his childhood in Stratford-upon-Avon or career in London.

(A) Based on accounts of his contemporaries
Incorrect. In this choice the modifier 'Based on accounts of his contemporaries' incorrectly modifies academicians .Academicians were not themselves based on accounts.

(B) Basing it on his contemporaries’ accounts
Incorrect. 'It' does not have an antecedent.

(C) With accounts of his contemporaries used for a basis
Incorrect. For me, the usage 'used for a basis' is doubtful. Correct usage could have been 'used as a basis' . 'With....' sometimes acts as a modifier. But we have a better option (D) available . So this choice will be rejected.

(D) Using accounts of his contemporaries
Correct '. Using accounts of his contemporaries' properly modifies academicians . Also the singular pronoun 'his' has only one valid antecedent 'William Shakespeare' .

(E) By the account of his contemporaries they used
Incorrect. 'They used' refers to academicians and so this choice suggests that the contemporaries were used by the academicians . This does not make sense as it alters the meaning.
