On Earth, among the surest indications of sunspot cycles are believed to be the rate that trees grow, as seen in the rings visible in the cross sections of their trunks.




(A) On Earth, among the surest indications of sunspot cycles are believed to be the rate that trees grow

(B) On Earth, among the surest indications of sunspot cycles are, it is believed, the rate of tree growth

(C) On Earth, the rate at which trees grow is believed to be among the surest indications of sunspot cycles

(D) Among the surest indications on Earth of sunspot cycles, believed to be the tree growth rate

(E) Among the surest indications on Earth of sunspot cycles is believed to be the rate at which trees grow


Answer E

What wrong with C? is there any other reason besides E sounds better?

I feel C is passive and E clearly specifies 'Earth of sunspot cycles' while in C 'sunspot cycles' is far from earth.

I meant Among the surest indications on earth clearly signifies what we need in this sentence.

Dont you think there has to be a comma or some other kind of separator to separate the "earth" and of sunspot cycles?
