Official Solution:
It is possible that early American women’s rights leaders such as Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were borrowing their ideals from the women who had lived in the contemporary Iroquois Indian nations nearby.
A. were borrowing their ideals from the women who had lived
B. had borrowed their ideals from the women who had been living
C. borrowed their ideals from the women who lived
D. had been borrowing their ideals from the women who lived
E. borrowed their ideals from the women who had been living
This sentence requires the simple past tense verb forms borrowed and lived. The word contemporary makes it clear that the leaders lived at the same time as the Iroquois women. This indicates that both verbs should make use of the same simple past tense.
A. The verb forms were borrowing and had lived display an unnecessary tense shift.
B. The past perfect verb forms created by the word had are not necessary to the sentence.
C. CORRECT. This option correctly displays parallel form between two verbs in simple past tense, borrowed and lived.
D. Had been borrowing is an incorrect verb form.
E. Had been living is an incorrect verb form.

Hi chetan2u,
Whats wrong with option E.
How can "had been living" is incorrect verb form
Had been + Present Participle = Past perfect continuous tense
Past perfect continuous tense
It is used to describe an action which continued until another past action. (It can absolutely fit in this sentence)
Can you please have a look into this
Whats going wrong.
