Sojourner Truth, the Black feminist lecturer of the pre-Civil War period, worked in the household of a Dutch master in upstate New York until she was 20, and for most of that time she spoke only Dutch.
(A) worked in the household of a Dutch master in upstate New York until she was 20, and for most of that time she spoke only Dutch
(B) spoke only Dutch for most of the time she worked in the household of a Dutch master in upstate New York until she was 20 (the statement meant to intend that sojourner spoke dutch while working for the dutch master in upstate New York, which is not clearly mentioned in this option) (incorrect)
(C) until she was 20 working in the household of a Dutch master in upstate New York, she spoke only Dutch for most of that time
(D) speaking only Dutch for most of the time she worked in the household of a Dutch master in upstate New York, which was until she was 20
(E) working in the household of a Dutch master in upstate New York until she was 20, for most of that time she spoke only Dutch.
The statement is intended to specify the past tense hence -ing participle is wrong , '-ed participle' works fine.
A option seems the best option.

If you are between A & B , B changes the meaning by assuming that she stopped speaking Dutch after the age of 20, thus is incorrect !
