Booker T. Washington

by goelmohit2002 » Fri Mar 13, 2009 11:43 pm
Hi All,

Can somebody please help in the below question.

The OA is [spoiler]"E"[/spoiler]. I was able to narrow down to [spoiler]"A" and "E"[/spoiler]. But could not understand why [spoiler]"E"[/spoiler] is preferred over [spoiler]"A"[/spoiler]? To me [spoiler]"A"[/spoiler] looks better option.

The last years of Booker T. Washington, regarded to be the most influential Black leader of his time, were devoted to building a political power base that extended far beyond the confines of the Tuskegee institute.

a) The last years of Booker T. Washington, regarded to be the most influential Black leader of his time, were devoted
b) Regarded to be the most influential Black leader of his time, Booker T. Washington's last years were devoted
c) Booker T. Washington, being regarded the most influential Black leader of his time, devoted his last years
d) Being regarded as the most influential Black leader of his time, Booker T. Washington had devoted his last years
e) Booker T. Washington, regarded as the most influential Black leader of his time, devoted his last years

Thanks
Mohit

1."regarded to be the most influential Black leader of his time" wrongly modifies last years
2. regarded as - correct idiom
