196. Camille Claudet worked continuously through the 1880’s and early 1890’s with the sculptor Auguste Rodin; since there are very few signed works of hers, the inescapable conclusion seems to be one of Claudet conceiving and executing part of Rodin’s enormous production of that period.

(A) inescapable conclusion seems to be one of Claudet conceiving and executing part of Rodin’s enormous production of that period
(B) conclusion of Claudet conceiving and executing part of Rodin’s enormous production of that period seems inescapable
(C) conclusion seems inescapable that part of Rodin’s enormous production of that period was conceived and executed by Claudet
(D) conclusion of part of Rodin’s enormous production of that period having been conceived and executed by Claudet seems inescapable
(E) seemingly inescapable conclusion is that Claudet would have conceived and executed part of Rodin’s enormous production of that period

can nyone explain..was cnfusing to me:-(

I'll go with C. The correct idiom, I believe, is "conclusion that" not "conclusion of."

(A) inescapable conclusion seems to be one of Claudet conceiving and executing part of Rodin’s enormous production of that period
--> "conclusion ...of Claudet" is incorrect.

(B) conclusion of Claudet conceiving and executing part of Rodin’s enormous production of that period seems inescapable
--> "conclusion of Claudet" is incorrect.

(C) conclusion seems inescapable that part of Rodin’s enormous production of that period was conceived and executed by Claudet
--> "conclusion that" is correct and both verbs use the past tense correctly.

(D) conclusion of part of Rodin’s enormous production of that period having been conceived and executed by Claudet seems inescapable
--> "conclusion of" is incorrect.

(E) seemingly inescapable conclusion is that Claudet would have conceived and executed part of Rodin’s enormous production of that period
--> "conclusion that" is correct; however, "would have" is the wrong tense since this action occurred in the past and should use the past tense.

Also in D wrong word order (seems inescapable can not be in the end).
Also in E, (seemingly + would) are redundant. But not very sure whether the verb tense is wrong.
Also not very sure whether the idiom is "conclusion that", anyone knows?
