The hiker walks 5 times slower (20 miles of the biker divided by 4 miles walked by the walker:-)..) so he wo...

Tense shift: was....has been

I would go with E because the correct idiom is "x arising from ...and y arising from ..."; we need the plural costs because of "and" ; this conjunction most of the time indicates a plural.

If you look at the answers themselves, none have a parallel structre except E. So you have: the federal rules aimed (simple past) ...were established (simple past) to ensure that patients would be (in the future)...and independent panel would evaluate (in the future)...

I tend to go with B because the ice sheets existed first and then Louis was led to propose the concept. I believe that the past perfect is appropriate.
