While Yorkshire has been seen as a major supplier of labor for the weaving trade in the north of
England, the fact that my grandmother also lived briefly in the central part of the country suggests that
migration in two stages, in her case it involved a shift from domestic to factory work, may still have been
common in the 1870s
.

A. suggests that migration in two stages, in her case it involved a shift from domestic to factory work,
may still have been common in the 1870s
B. suggests that migration in two stages may still have been common in the 1870s, in her case it involved
a shift from domestic to factory work
C. suggesting how migration in two stages, in her case a shift from domestic to factory work, may still have
been common in the 1870s
D. suggests how migration in two stages may still have been common in the 1870s, her case a shift from
domestic to factory work
E. suggests that migration in two stages, in her case involving a shift from domestic to factory work, may still
have been common in the 1870s


Here suggests --> subjective word
So C and D are kicked out...
E -present continuous is not needed i guess..

Between A and B.
A seems to be correct... but IMO B seems to be more parallel.
I went with B.

Guys pool ur suggestions...

You rejected B only to accept it; seems a typo, right?

Nevertheless, what do you think "in her case involving a shift from domestic to factory work" refers to?
"involving a shift from X to Y"..what do you think this expression modifies?

Ya thanks Bull..
It was a typo...

in her case involving a shift from domestic to factory work

-ING modifier not preceded by a comma modifies preceding noun....

So i suppose, here in this sentence involving a shift from domestic to factory work modifies her which in turn goes to grandma

But my doubt is

While Yorkshire has been seen as a major supplier of labor for the weaving trade in the north of
England, the fact that my grandmother also lived briefly in the central part of the country suggests that
migration in two stages, in her case it involved a shift from domestic to factory work, may still have been
common in the 1870s.

Both verbs need not be parallel here???
Also verb sequencing troubled me...

Though i'm not sure with i went with B... its just a guess :(

A. suggests that migration in two stages, in her case it involved a shift from domestic to factory work, may still have been common in the 1870s
The involved involves wrong usage of tenses -Hence out

B. suggests that migration in two stages may still have been common in the 1870s, in her case it involved a shift from domestic to factory work
in her case should have come in right after the grandmotherinorder to have the right meaning -Hence out

C. suggesting how migration in two stages, in her case a shift from domestic to factory work, may still have been common in the 1870s
Suggesting is not the right use of tense -Hence out

D. suggests how migration in two stages may still have been common in the 1870s, her case a shift from domestic to factory work
Similar reasoning as B -Hence out

E. suggests that migration in two stages, in her case involving a shift from domestic to factory work, may still have been common in the 1870
It fixes the tense error with addition of involving
Hence IMO E

Im not able to understand the split between A and E. Both seem correct to me. In A, what else could it be referring to.
