Manminder,

Found is a transitive verb, so after it you need to put the object the Arnmore Laboratories and Arnmore Research Facilities

Choice E wrongly implies that "Leo and Fontove Arnmore" were founded instead of the experiments.

Manminder,

In choice E , the verb (founded) and the direct object (Laboratories and Arnmore Research Facilities) are separated . This is awkward.

Eg1 : The boy viewed Jupiter through the telescope ---> correct.
Eg2 : The boy viewed through the telescopr, Jupiter ----> awkward.

Regards,
Vignesh
