The haunting beautiful song that the lead soloist performed was thought by all to be worthy of an encore.

A) The haunting beautiful song that the lead soloist performed was thought by all to be worthy of an encore
B) The haunting beautiful song, which the lead soloist has performed, was thought by all to be worthy of an encore
C) The hauntingly beautiful song, which the lead soloist performed, had been thought by all to be worthy of an encore
D) The performance by the lead soloist of haunting beautiful song was thought by all to be worthy of an encore
E) The lead soloist's hauntingly beautiful song was thought by all to be a performance worthy of an encore

OA : A

I chose option D because I think that the performance but not the song is what should be worthy of an encore.
Experts could you please clarify this for me?

Thanks!

Easy enough to clarify. This question is LAME. LOL

B and E have clear issues, and C maybe has a tense issue. The other two choices are basically OK, though there are in them some minor problems that I am guessing are just typos. So basically there are two or three answer choices that are OK, and pondering this one further does not seem to be worthwhile.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
