At the time of the Mexican agrarian revolution

by vipulgoyal » Sun Apr 05, 2015 7:25 pm
At the time of the Mexican agrarian revolution, the most radical faction, that of Zapata and his followers, proposed a return to communal ownership of land, to what had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards.
(A) land, to what had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards
(B) land, a form of ownership of the pre-Columbians and respected by the Spaniards
(C) land, respected by the Spaniards and a pre-Columbian form of ownership
(D) land in which a pre-Columbian form of ownership was respected by the Spaniards
(E) land that had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards

Experts please address ...

IMO B

simple past and past perfect is used when two related events occuring one after another. Here "pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards" and "proposed a return to communal ownership of land" are not related events,

This question has been kicking around on forums for years. I can't seem to figure out what the source is. Where did you find it? (Please always post the source of your questions!)

This is a pretty terrible question, so I hope it's not an official question. See Mitch's explanation here: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mexican-agra ... 40-15.html
