Glaciologists believe that the frozen corpse recently found in a melting Alpine glacier, apparently the body of a shepherd who is thought to have lived about 4,600 years ago, was preserved uncrushed by snow and ice because of the body's unique topographical position.

A. apparently the body of a shepherd who is thought to have lived
B. the body of a shepherd, apparently, who was thought to live
C. the body of an apparent shepherd who was thought to live
D. the body of a shepherd who is thought of as apparently living
E. the body of a shepherd who was apparently thought to live

A==>
B==> apparently is modifying Shephed which is wrong
C==>apparent shepherd is wordy and awkward
D==> living (wrong verb)
E==>

I am confused between A and E.

IMO:A

A. apparently the body of a shepherd who is thought to have lived --> Correct - the corpse apparently - means appear to be the body of shepherd...

B. the body of a shepherd, apparently, who was thought to live --> who was ==. means not more thought to live.. : Wrong
C. the body of an apparent shepherd who was thought to live --> Same as above

D. the body of a shepherd who is thought of as apparently living --> appear to live ==> wrong modifier

E. the body of a shepherd who was apparently thought to live --> appear to thought to live --> wrong modifier

I am confused between A and E.

I saw that this question is from Kaplan.The explanation given by them is that since we are using "recently" in the sentence we should use present tense to describe what is thought?
So we need to look at "who is....." formations from which we get A and D.Now since D is wordier we choose A. Can anyone explain that is it some rule that with recently we should always use present tense and not past?

To look at the other way, the first clause ends with Alpine glacier. The phrase following it ideally should describe more about Alpine glacier. In our case, none of them do.

A fits the best among the answers.
"Native of" is used for a individual while "Native to" is used for a large group
