Although early soap operas were first aired on evening radio in the 1920s, they had moved to the daytime hours of the 1930s when the evening schedule became crowded with comedians and variety shows.
(A) were first aired on evening radio in the 1920s, they had moved to the daytime hours of the 1930s
(B) were first aired on evening radio in the 1920s, they were moved to the daytime hours in the 1930s
(C) were aired first on evening radio in the 1920s, moving to the daytime hours in the 1930s
(D) were aired first in the evening on 1920s radio, they moved to the daytime hours of the 1930s
(E) aired on evening radio first in the 1920s, they were moved to the 1930s in the daytime hours
Answer is B
I got this one correct when I compared with A, B, D, and E not only in terms of parallelism but also in terms of meaning, but I got confused after comparing with C. I am not sure whether my elimination method for C is correct or not.
C says “Soap operas moving to the daytime hours in the 1930’s” (Can “Soap operas move to daytime hours by themselves” ? )
I eliminated C because I thought “Soap operas cannot move to daytime hours by themselves and they have to be moved by someone else”
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Experts, please advice.
Thanks & Regards
