Beatrix Potter, in her book illustrations, carefully coordinating them with her narratives, capitalized on her keen observation and love of the natural world.

for B - 'carefully coordinating...' illogically modifies preceeding noun (book illustrations)

Hello,
Reopening an old thread. Could someone plz explain why "E" is incorrect. Why is "them" in correct in Option "E"? Can't "them" refer to "her book illustrations"?

Is there any concept am missing?

Thanks
