As if this vast local power in the tendinous tail was not enough, the whole bulk of the leviathan is knit over with a warp and woof of muscular fibres and filaments, and while passing on either side of the loins and running down into the flukes, insensibly blend with them and largely contribute to their might.

Official Solution:
As if this vast local power in the tendinous tail was not enough, the whole bulk of the leviathan is knit over with a warp and woof of muscular fibres and filaments, and while passing on either side of the loins and running down into the flukes, insensibly blend with them and largely contribute to their might.

B. were not enough, the whole bulk of the leviathan is knit over with a warp and woof of muscular fibres and filaments, which, passing on either side of the loins and running

E. were not enough, the whole bulk of the leviathan is knit over with a warp and woof of muscular fibres and filaments, pass on either side of the loins and while running
A. The verb was is wrong in hypothetical subjunctive. The sentence implies that the whole bulk of the leviathan, while passing on either side of the loins and running down the fluke, blends and contributes, whereas the correct meaning is that the muscular fibres and filaments do so. Grammatically, the singular subject the whole bulk of the leviathan does not agree with the verbs blend and contribute.
B. CORRECT. The verb were is correctly used in hypothetical subjunctive. The meaning is correctly conveyed by introducing a subordinate clause with which, referring to the muscular fibres and filaments. The muscular fibres and filaments, passing on either side the loins and running down into the flukes, insensibly blend with them and largely contribute to their might.
C. The verb was is wrong in hypothetical subjunctive. The pronoun they is ambiguous, having 2 different antecedents.
D. The verb was is wrong in hypothetical subjunctive. Moreover while using 4 verbs, pass, run, blend and contribute, in parallel, the first two verbs are incorrectly separated by and.
E. The sentence implies that the whole bulk of the leviathan passes on either side of the loins and while running down the flukes, blend and contribute. However the correct meaning is that the muscular fibres and filaments do so. Gramatically, the singular subject the whole bulk of the leviathan does not agree with the verbs blend and contribute.
