I actually used this same modifier concept to refer "she" with "helen", in my above post. But in this sentence there are two independent clause. ( I am discussing only about B)patanjali.purpose wrote:
IMO Pronoun can come before its noun, for example: Although she had signed a pledge of abstinence as an adolescent, Frances Willard was 35 years old before she chose to become a temperance activist.
B will still be incorrect if replace SHE with HELEN.
IMO B is incorrect because the sentence does not convey the idea properly: The first independent clause (IC) and 2nd IC are placed in parallel and therefore it appears as if the Ist IC does not play any role in "HELEN BEING THE best-known and well-respected African Americans..".
In this sentence,
he went to the market and john bought some apples. ( is "he" referring to John, I don't think so) - B is same as this. I am Confused !!( I think Sekhar.kataria is telling this same point)
