IMO A. all the others suffer from a displaced modifier issue .

student26 · Answer

I was confused between A and D.But i think i can rule out D as indian Ocean incorrectly modifies "the largest of modern era".
In E there is an issue on incorrect noun modifier.

I believe answer OA is E but I am not able to really pin point error in A itself

My 2 cents -

A is wrong because the phrase "resulting from the destruction caused by the largest tsunami of the modern era in the Indian Ocean" tends to modify the "entire world"...

scheol79 · Answer

My choice was D.

A has a modifier issue as 'resulting from the destruction caused by the largest tsunami of the modern era in the Indian Ocean' is actually modifying 'the entire world'.

E also has a modifier issue as noun modifier 'which' is placed next to 'Indian Ocean', but at the same time, it does clarify that which is referring to the tsunami.

E also transitions better to the next part of the sentence.

I think that E is indeed correct.
