A which, causing cultural and academic advances, mark
B causing cultural and academic advances, it marks
C and causing cultural and academic advances that mark
D an ideology that caused the cultural and academic advances, and it had marked
E an ideology that caused the cultural and academic advances that mark

IMO E

IMO C, B was close but 'it' is ambiguous

HI , IMO IT,S "C"
"b" IS A RUN-ON SENTENCE.
PLZ POST OA?

IMO E.

C has 2 issues -

Strip to the core of the sentence - The growth of ... mercantile class...led to X, and causing Y.

1. and causing Y is not in sync with the rest of the sentence. It breaks parallelism.
2. Use of and is inappropriate - Y was caused by X; a causal relationship needs to be established.

E corrects this using the following construction -
The growth of ... mercantile class...led to X, an ideology that caused Y.

Is it [spoiler](E)[/spoiler]

I think England can not be an ideology. D and E have modification issue

I guess you meant Europe.

No, it can't. The ideology is economic nationalism. This is one of those cases where the modifier does not touch the noun.

One more for C.

I'll go for E as well. I think the conjunction used in C is incorrect, and incorrectly using "causing" as a verb when it is a verbal.

B is more correct than C in that aspect, but the rest of B is definitely incorrect.

"an ideology" is referring to economic nationalism in Europe, and seems to be the only choice without violating grammar errors.

A)Misplaced modifier for relative pronoun which
B)"it" is ambiguous
C)No parallelism
D)no paralelism and ambiguous pronoun it
E)correct

Oh sorry about that. I meant Europe.

I am getting what you are saying in your earlier post. It would be nice if you elaborate what you saying about red part in your post.

LOL, I just noticed I violated the same error as the one I was pointing out.

I ll go with E....Was down to B and E....There is no continuity in B, hence E
