I noticed right away that there was a modifier issue in the beginning of the sentence. I glanced through the choices and quickly spotted C, which was the only answer choice that made logical sense. People cannot be published

Let me preface my explanation by saying this question is definitely not a 700+, more like a 500-600 level question. The reason is the modification issue at the beginning is transparent: clearly the owner and editor are not published in Soweto. Just like that we can eliminate (A) and (B). (E) contains 'being'. (C) has the proper modification (it was the Chronicle that was published in Soweto).
(D) is confusing because it ends with 'publish in Soweto.' While this phrase clearly modifies 'Chronicle', it is tacked on at the end of the sentence. This distance between the noun it is supposed to modify creates confusion.
