C and E
Question 1, C and D are close but have been is preferred to having been. So my pick is C.
Question 2, Its a pronoun error 'Napoleon's Army' is singular. All the choices except E use either 'They' or 'Their' which are plural. So my pick is E.

The answer to the first one is 'C'.
The verb form should be plural for the plural subject "words", which rules out options A and B.
Option E constructs a parallel phrase with conjunction "and", the new phrase doesn't have a referent in the end and looks incomplete (words added to what??).
Option D presents an awkward construction to modify the noun preceding it.
Option C presents a relative phrase which maintains the subject verb agreement and correctly modifies the noun preceding it.
When it comes to choosing between option C and D. 'C' seems a clear winner.

The answer for the second one is 'E'
The subject Napolean's army is singular and will take singular pronoun, which rules out options A, B, C and D.
'E' is the correct choice.

Both questions appear in OG 10 ( Q. No. 192 and 198 respectively
