According to entomologists, single locusts are quiet creatures, but when locusts are placed with others of their species, they become excited, change color, vibrate, and even hum.

A. when locusts are placed with others of their species,
B. when placing them with others of their species, then
C. locusts, when placed with others of their species,
D. placing them with others of their species,
E. placed with others of their species, then

[spoiler]Ans: A[/spoiler]



Can anyone explain why Option C is incorrect? If we take out "they" before "becom excited", is it correct?

C. locusts, when placed with others of their species,
D. placing them with others of their species,
E. placed with others of their species, then

[spoiler]Ans: A[/spoiler]

Grammar:
IC+ COMMA + FANBOYS + CLAUSE.

Only option A meets this rule, and all other options does not have a clause after BUT.

According to researchers, many individuals are going to the fair, when they are insisted to go.

==> What does "they" refer to?

Again, "when placed" is more ambiguous.

So, C is also in this trap.

Answer is A.

I may sound a idiot but what is this rule?
IC+ COMMA + FANBOYS + CLAUSE
