At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

I know this is an easy question. But the problem is that I am not able to identify the rules governing the correct option. For example in the above question I know that the answer to the above question is A. But between A and E, I don't know why E is incorrect. As of now even after completing the basic level of ultimate grammar book, I am not able to identify the correct tense and exact error in the sentence.
Also any advice on how should I take my preparation forward would be appreciated.

Because they were eye witnesses to the crime, Amy, Sue and Jack were called to testify at the robbery hearing.
a) Amy, Sue and Jack were called to testify at the robbery hearing (correct)
b) Amy, Sue and Jack they were called to testify at the robbery hearing (Usage of pronoun immediately after the noun is wrong)
c) Amy, Sue and Jack was called to testify at the robbery hearing (There are three persons. So usage of was is wrong)
d) Amy, Sue and Jack were calling to testify at the robbery hearing (Changes the meaning as if they were calling to someone)
e) Amy, Sue and Jack were called to testifying at the robbery hearing (After infinitive, use basic form of verb)
Kudos please if you like my explanation!

In E, to testifing is wrong. to testify is the correct form.
Basic level of that book is not enough to spot every nay most errors in SC. I believe that they incuded the basic level to help the reader get familiar to common terms used later in the book. Though I have not read it but judging by the index, I can say that you'd need to understand completely the intermediate level to get a better hang of rules. I hope this helps. All the best.
