When Eli Candy Staton drafted the declaration
Was it Eli candy (only) who drafted it,or is it the others who drafted it and her something (may be a principle or writing) was included in it
from E it sounds like it was (all) her,who drafted it....

Any way i think i used my common sense (which was not useful here...lol),means most of the declarations are drafted by convention not a single person.
So may be i used it when i tried to find meaning of sentence and i was trapped(as they say gmat trap)
any way i got it now
By the way,i have heard past perfect should be avoided as much as possible(as it adds redundancy),but does it mean that it should be eliminated in all cases
for eg, what is problem with past perfect tense of the answer choice of this question?
is it gramatically incorrect or it just adds redundancy?
