C: In 1905 Beta Bartok and Zoltan Kodaly began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, traveling the back roads of Hungary armed only with an Edison phonograph and insatiable curiosity

Generally, a COMMA + VERBing modifier serves to express an action that is CONTEMPORANEOUS WITH the preceding action.
Here, COMMA + traveling implies that Bela and Zoltan were already TRAVELING all over Hungary when they BEGAN their work.
But the intended meaning seems to be that Bela and Zoltan were traveling all over Hungary as they CONDUCTED their work, not when they began it.
Thus, the COMMA + VERBing modifier traveling does not convey the intended meaning.

SC26 in the OG12 contains a similar error:
https://www.beatthegmat.com/emily-dickin ... 21769.html

Another error in C:
The back-to-back modifiers -- traveling the back roads, armed only with an Edison phonograph -- need to be connected by a conjunction such as and.

Ignore the SC above.
It does not have a correct answer.
