Hi abhasjha,
This SC is based on a couple of common GMAT grammar rules:
1) Modification: The opening phrase clearly describes a person, so the person should be placed right after that first comma. Eliminate A, C and D.
2) Verbs: In answers B and E, the last word is either "were" or "was", so we need to know the noun that "controls" this verb. Working back into the sentence, you'll find the noun "hearings"....so we need the verb "were." Eliminate E.
Final Answer:B
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
