Contrary to common belief, Euclid's Elements is more a compilation than a composition; it repeats the work of scholars such as Eudoxus, Pythagorus, and Theaetetus, often clarifying earlier proofs and correcting weak ones.

We are told 3 things about Euclid's Elements ( Single entity as is used in all answers )
2 main action
- It is more a compilation than a composition ( common belief was that is composition )
- It repeats the work of scholars such as E,P,and T
simultaneous, but lower-priority, action which goes back to subject
- clarifying earlier proofs and correcting weak ones
A) Seems fine . Lets move on
B )Tempting but changes the meaning of the sentence .
In original choice Euclid's Elements was clarifying proofs but in choice B , Scholars are clarifying proofs .
C ) usage of that is incorrect . It seems now that it is composition doing the action rather than Euclid's Elements
composition that repeats the work of Eudoxus, Pythagorus, and Theaetetus
D ) After semicolon there should be a clause and not a fragment
; repeating the work of scholars such as Eudoxus, Pythagorus, and
Theaetetus;
E ) SV error . The work are ( incorrect )
Also Which is convoluting the meaning .
+1 (A)
