rphardu · Answer

First "When analyzing a manuscript in a foreign language" is modifying Translator and can not modify analytical lexicon.
so option C and D are wrong.

Option E is wrong here because of meaning. This is saying that Analytical lexicons are reading manuscript.

Now remaining options are A and B.
Option B : Option B has plural "lexicons" at the end which can not have verbs in "defines" and "parses". so subject/Verb problem.

Now option A is right.Lets analyze option A also.
"When analyzing a manuscript in a foreign language" analyze translator which is good.
Here it can refer only to Lexicon only because to modify Translator we need "Wh o"

I hope my explanation helps.
