devoted VS has devoted

DEVOTED wins because of the // with determined

B and D are gone

a,devoted his subsequent career to do it

Good bye A

Between C and E

c,devoted his subsequent career to such an end


SUCH AN END requires that END be discussed somewhere else.

e, devoted his subsequent career to that end

So the point is that "has devoted " is wrong . there is no problem of //

another thing:

Hello Logitech

cound you tell me what grammar page which show that "such an end" need a "end" somewhere while "that end" dose not need so.

pls, post the gammar page so that I could copy.

Best regards

such an end in C doesn't fix which type of end...

That an end : restricts to the "to find the site of ancient Troy"

hope this helps
