December

The word "December" is derived from the Latin word for "ten," which seems odd considering it's the twelfth month, but when you realize that the earliest Roman calendar had just ten months, it all makes perfect sense.

A. The word "December" is derived from the Latin word for "ten," which seems odd considering it's the twelfth month, but when you realize that the earliest Roman calendar had just ten months, it all makes perfect sense.

B. It seems odd that the name of the twelfth month of the year, "December," is derived from the Latin word for "ten," until you realize that the earliest Roman calendar had just ten months.

C. The word "December" is derived from the Latin word for "ten," which seems odd considering it's the twelfth month, but when you realized that the earliest Roman calendar had just ten months, it all makes perfect sense.

D. It makes perfect sense that the word "December" is derived from the Latin word for "ten," which seems odd considering it's the twelfth month, but the earliest Roman calendar had just ten months, so it's logical.

E. Since December is the twelfth month of our calendar year, it seems odd that the word "December" is derived from the Latin word for "ten," but when you realize that the earliest Roman calendar had just ten months, it all makes perfect sense.

"it's" it ambiguous since it could refer to either "December" or "ten" so A, C, and D are out.

Between B and E, E is clearly the more wordy and muddled meaning-wise. B is correct.

one more vote for B. B sounds great.

@VivianKerr, dont u think, that in option A along with "it's", the word "which" is also not really good?

A. The word "December" is derived from the Latin word for "ten," which seems odd considering it's the twelfth month, but when you realize that the earliest Roman calendar had just ten months, it all makes perfect sense. - Wordy

C. The word "December" is derived from the Latin word for "ten," which seems odd considering it's the twelfth month, but when you realized that the earliest Roman calendar had just ten months, it all makes perfect sense. - wordy too

D. It makes perfect sense that the word "December" is derived from the Latin word for "ten," which seems odd considering it's the twelfth month, but the earliest Roman calendar had just ten months, so it's logical.

E. Since December is the twelfth month of our calendar year, it seems odd that the word "December" is derived from the Latin word for "ten," but when you realize that the earliest Roman calendar had just ten months, it all makes perfect sense. - Extremely wordy

IMO: B

My answer is B

I think the word which is not placed right.
'which' has been used as a non-essential clause for Latin word for "ten" in options A, C and D. Is the latin word for "ten" odd or the the act of deriving. Hence, these are incorrect.
Option B rights points what is odd.
E is quite wordy, hence, not considered appropriate.

Thank you guys. OA is B. IMO was E. It is wordy as everybody mentioned here.

If option (A) had to be corrected we need to replace ',which' by 'that'.
Isn't 'It' acting as a placeholder here?

At first glance, options A, C, and D are wrong because the use of "which" modifies the wrong subject.
Easier to sight than the issue of ambiguity right?

Vivian, please what's your take on this?
