Scorched by fire, stained by water, and inscribed in cramped handwriting, the seventeenth-century Dutch documents on the beginnings of New York City were long ignored by historians,depending instead on English sources for information.
(A) the seventeenth-century Dutch documents on the beginnings of New York City were longignored by historians, depending
(B) the seventeenth-century Dutch documents on the beginnings of New York City were longignored by historians, who depended
(C) historians long ignored the seventeenth-century Dutch documents on the beginnings of NewYork City, depending
(D) historians long ignored the seventeenth-century Dutch documents on the beginnings of NewYork City and depended
(E) historians long ignored the seventeenth-century Dutch documents on the beginnings of NewYork City, they depended
Solution (Posted on 24th):
B is the answer. The historians were not scorched by fire. Thus C, D and E is wrong. In A, ‘,depending sounds as though the documents were depending. B does the right job by giving ‘,who depended’ that correctly refers to historians.
