The Federal Republic of Brazil, which achieved independence in 1822, becoming a republic in 1889, consists of 26 states and one federal district.
A. The Federal Republic of Brazil, which achieved independence in 1822, becoming a republic in 1889, consists of 26 states and one federal district.
B. The Federal Republic of Brazil, which achieved independence in 1822 and became a republic in 1889, consists of 26 states and one federal district.
C. Achieving independence in 1822 and becoming a republic in 1889, the Federal Republic of Brazil is 26 states and one federal district.
D. Achieving independence in 1822 and becoming a republic in 1889, 26 states and 1 federal district make up the Federal Republic of Brazil.
E. Achieving independence in 1822 and later becoming a republic in 1889, the Federal Republic of Brazil consists of 26 states and one federal district.
(A) The verb becoming introduces an extra clause that is unnecessary; the sentence should read achieved…and became
(B) Correct. The verbs achieved and became are parallel; the main clause Brazil…consists of is correct
(C) Brazil is 26 states is an incorrect description; it is correct to say Brazil consists of 26 states
(D) This sentence has a modifier error. The opening clause incorrectly modifies 26 states and 1 federal district instead of Brazil
(E) The phrase later becoming a republic in 1889 is redundant; it is already clear that 1889 comes after 1822
