Beatrix Potter, in her book illustrations, carefully coordinating them with her narratives, capitalized on her keen observation and love of the natural world.
(A) Beatrix Potter, in her book illustrations, carefully coordinating them with her narratives,
(B) In her book illustrations, carefully coordinating them with her narratives, Beatrix Potter
(C) In her book illustrations, which she carefully coordinated with her narratives, Beatrix Potter
(D) Carefully coordinated with her narratives, Beatrix Potter, in her book illustrations
(E) Beatrix Potter, in her book illustrations, carefully coordinated them with her narratives and
[spoiler]OA: C
OG says
for B - 'carefully coordinating...' illogically modifies preceeding noun (book illustrations)
for E - 'them' can't refer to "book illustrations" bcoz the plural noun is the object of the prep in
for C - correct placement of modifying elements; the use of 'which' clearly links the two elements
my doubt: in C - which (pronoun) refers to 'book illustrations' even though its part of prep phrase. But the same rule does not apply to pronoun 'them'.
Is this a general rule that 'which can refer to noun eventhough its part of a preposition phrase whereas 'other pronouns such as 'that/them' do not [/spoiler]
