In no other historical sighting did Halley's Comet cause such a worldwide sensation as did its return in 1910-1911

A. did its return in 1910-1911

B. had its 1910-1911 return

C. in its return of 1910-1911

D. its return of 1910-1911 did

E. its return in 1910-1911

What is this question trying to test?
Parallelism, tense or subject- verb application?

Please expain based on brief concepts.

Hi,
This question has been recently discussed.

https://www.beatthegmat.com/need-expert- ... 88900.html

If you feel that it too lengthy, then you should think on the lines of Parallelism:
In no other historical sightings || in its return of 1910-11.
Cheers!

Things are not what they appear to be... nor are they otherwise
