(E) While artisans in early nineteenth-century French villages exercised collective control over labor processes and received adequate pay for their work, those of factory workers in these villages
The OA given is Op B, see the comparison is okay, but kindly answer is the placement of WHO is correct over here??? see below Op B
Unlike artisans in early nineteenth-century French villages, who exercised collective control over labor processes and received adequate pay for the work that they produced, factory workers in these villages
This kind of issue was discussed earlier and i remember the final verdict was WHO follows touch rule...here WHO logically refers to "artisans" and in that case i think this OA is wrong. Please share your views.

That is correct.
as early nineteenth-century French Villages is the adjective to artisans.
THink about it like this. Would you say the early nineteenth-century French village artisans? Way more times than not, you would say the former.
The same thing applies for computer engineers of the Silicon Valley in the 20th century. You wouldn't say the 20th century Silicon Valley engineers.
I hope that I helped your confusion. My example isn't the best, just what I had off the top of my head.

Who can be written as there is no discrepancy and it clearly modifies the phrase "artisans in early nineteenth-century French villages" written before it.

Atul,
I would suggest you to stick to what you have learned till now. Do not doubt yourself, that too on the D day. I too feel the OA is incorrect. MGMT never-ever says about any exception on "who". There are some exceptions on "whose"(can modify people or thing) though, but "who" must modify the word (person) after the comma. For your sake, forget you ever saw this sentence. Good luck!!!
IMO this is a better version:
In early nineteenth-century French villages , unlike artisans, who exercised collective control over labor processes and received adequate pay for the work that they produced, factory workers in these villages typically lacked social organization and were underpaid for their services.

Yup even i would say that don't press yourself before D-day.
@smackmartine: Placement of modifier (in red) seems to be wrong In early nineteenth-century French villages , unlike artisans, who exercised collective control over labor processes and received adequate pay for the work that they produced, factory workers in these villages typically lacked social organization and were underpaid for their services.

While answering the question I picked B on my understanding that who modifies the preceeding noun(persons) or a prepositional phrase containing persons.
@Atul,
ATB for your test tomorrow.

You are correct. I tried couple of ways to mix and match modifiers , but sentence did not fit properly. If you can provide me with a better version without eliminating any of the words ,please suggest.vikram4689 wrote:Yup even i would say that don't press yourself before D-day.
