Hi abhasjha,

This SC is built on a standard GMAT verb-rule and some style:

1) Verbs: From the sentence, we know that Galileo did something in the past ("...he quickly built his own device...."). This action was taken after another past event ("....hearing....that such an...instrument...HAD BEEN MADE"). Since we have two past events, we need the verb "had." Eliminate B and E.

2) Style/Redundancy: After reading the sentence, it's clear that Galileo did not invent the original telescope. The words "even though" are unnecessary (they're redundant), since we know that he heard about the telescope, then built his own version. Eliminate C and D.

Final Answer: A

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
