IMO E.

Who are celebrating?? WE.

Hence "In celebrating...." needs to modify WE.
ABD out

eight years earlier than is the right usage and fits the intended meaning.

pick E.

The best bet among the options looks to be E... however, my only doubt is that are we comparing the correct stuff...

Alcock and Brown transatlantic crossing to Lindbergh... should it not be Lindberg's or that of Lindbergh's...

experts please clarify... thanks...

My point exactly. Are not we comparing Action to Action? Alcock and Brown made to Lindbergh did
I feel DID is reqd at the end.
If the problem is Easy Respect it, if the problem is tough Attack it

Similar doubts can be raised in the question above. Ron deals with them beautifully. Read his explanations. This should clear things out.
