Elapsed Time: 00:00

    Because he had not experienced any symptoms until adulthood and was affected by facial paralysis early on in the course of his illness, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose death was originally attributed to complications arising from polio, may actually have suffered from symptoms related to Guillain-Barre syndrome.

    (A) Because he had not experienced any symptoms until adulthood and was affected by facial paralysis early on in the course of his illness
    (B) Since he has experienced his symptoms in adulthood and has been affected by facial paralysis early on in the course of his illness
    (C) Early on in the course of his illness he experienced facial paralysis and having not experienced any symptoms until adulthood
    (D) Because he had not experienced any symptoms until adulthood, he had been affected by facial paralysis early on in the course of his illness
    (E) Since he did not experience any symptoms until adulthood and had been affected by facial paralysis early on in the course of his illness

    As the two things mentioned prior to the name of Franklin are the only reasons being predicted to be related to Guillain-Barre syndrome, there should be 'and' in between them and not a comma. Hence 'D' is out.
    'has' is not the correct tense for representing the adulthood. Hence 'B' is out.
    'having not experienced' is not proper and hence 'C' is out.
    Out of the remaining options 'A' and 'E',as 'until adulthood' is used, past perfect is more suitable and hence option 'A' is more appropriate.
