Jan Micker’s

Jan Micker's 1652 masterwork Bird's Eye View of Amsterdam, which had been painted long before such a vantage point became possible, features spatial relationships that are more subtle and intricate than in most other seventeenth-century Dutch paintings.


A) which had been painted long before such a vantage point became possible, features spatial relationships that are more subtle and intricate than in

B)painted by the artist long before such a vantage point was to become possible, and featuring spatial relationships that are more subtle and intricate than those in

C) which the artist painted long before the possibility of such a vantage point, featuring spatial relationships that are more subtle and intricate than the ones in

D) painted long before the possibility of such a vantage point, with spatial relationships that are more subtle and intricate than the ones in

E) painted long before such a vantage point became possible, features spatial relationships that are more subtle and intricate than those in

OAA

I got this one right , just wanted to know that my reason to eliminate option D is correct or not?

I eliminated D because THOSE is needed, because here we compare with more that two people so that's why .

Also in the sentence MOST refer to more that two people right?

Please advise and correct me if my way is wrong.

Thanks[/spoiler]

My reason to eliminate the B,C,D is that they do not have a verb. The first part underlined is appositive. If you remove that and read ,you will find that there is missing verb.


A and E have than as comparison. E has than those in which is unnecessary because the comparison is that of adjectives subtle and gentle with the rest. Hence A is the answer.


Experts please comment.

In general, the comparison is between "bird's eye view of Amsterdam" and "most other seventeenth-century Dutch paintings". BCDE all have comparison issues.
BCD all are fragment.
