OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Answer: A.
Only choice A keeps the modifiers logically placed near the nouns they modify and expresses a complete thought. Choices B and E are not sentences, as they lack a main verb. Choice C improperly states that the Grand Duchess, not the Tsar, was the “last autocratic ruler.” In choice D, the modifier “eldest daughter…” is best placed closer to the Grand Duchess.
