His studies of ice-polished rocks in his Alpine homeland, far outside the range of present-day glaciers, led Louis Agassiz in 1837 to propose the concept of an age in which great ice sheets had existed in what are now temperate areas
(A) in which great ice sheets had existed in in now currently temperate areas
(B) in which great ice sheets existed in what are now temperate areas
(C) when great ice sheets existed where there were areas now temperate
(D) when great ice sheets had existed in current temperate areas
(E) when great ice sheets existed in areas now that are temperate
The OA is B
Would the experts please explain this one. Led Louis to propose...is in the past. So shouldn't the ice-age be before that. Hence, an ice-age had existed before he proposed. I am confused between A and B.
I understand that A can be rejected based on the fact that it mentions both "now" & "currently"
But what if A is like this "in which great ice sheets had existed in what are now temperate areas"
Which one to choose in that case??
