In such questions, i rather apply my ear than applying pure grammer rules. As after applying pure grammer rules the only thing i was able to understand here is that "contained in....." this part is a modifier and what should be contained in the MASTERWORK is that FAMOUS CHAPTER. Now, Op A and Op B are wordy...why?? because first of all look at the pronoun IT...do you really need this pronoun in the modifier???? Without the use of IT the modifier is fine and modifying CHAPTER so why should i use IT hence i dropped Op A and Op B. Op D and Op E, "found contained" is clearly awkward and nonsensical. if u are saying that something is contained in something than obviously u don't need found, somewhere the meaning of FOUND is already inherited in the sentence, hence we don't need found. Hence C is the best answer.mundasingh123 wrote:

I don't think u can apply this knowledge here, as u can see, contained in a part of modifier while X is a part of the clause. second, there is no verb IS b/w X and contained if u notice.ColumbiaVC wrote:C

Correct me if I am wrong.
Jim , its very difficult to make out about someone's true intentions on an online Forum . I could have been wrong .

Hi Jim isnt found contained present in D and E a dangling modifier because the agent who found the chapter isnt there in the sentenceJim@Grockit wrote:I would say the most interesting aspect of this one is that all the answers are grammatically correct, but use more words than they need to.

I never said that Op'ns D and E are wrong because the agent is missing. Well, i believe that FOUND is unnecessary...the meaning is clear without FOUND..mundasingh123 wrote:Hi Jim isnt found contained present in D and E a dangling modifier because the agent who found the chapter isnt there in the sentenceJim@Grockit wrote:I would say the most interesting aspect of this one is that all the answers are grammatically correct, but use more words than they need to.

Dangling modifiers could be a reason too.gmat25 wrote:I never said that Op'ns D and E are wrong because the agent is missing.

I don't think you are correct here regarding Dangling modifier issue. See, i explain my point of view. Here as u see, "found...." is acting as a adjective modifying NOUN in the preceding clause.mundasingh123 wrote:Dangling modifiers could be a reason too.gmat25 wrote:I never said that Op'ns D and E are wrong because the agent is missing.
