Here is a confusing SC. Could some one explain the sentence in question and the answer.

It was at the American School for the Deaf that influences from both French Sign Language and various "home sign" systems would interact, intermingle, and what would become American Sign Language was born.

A: what would become American Sign Language was born
B: give birth to what became American Sign language
C: what would become American Sign Language was given birth
D: and American Sign Language, or what would eventually become it, was born
E: American Sign Language was birthed

I structured the problem as follows:

It was at X that influences from both Y and Z would
1)interact,
2)intermingle, and
3) _____

only answer that is parallel is B (give birth)

Hi m&m,
thanks for the clarification. When I was solving the problem, I considered 'influences' a verb and hence got myself into the mess !!
