Having the right hand and arm being crippled by a sniper's bullet during the First World War. Horace Pippin,a Black American painter, worked by holding the brush in his right hand and guiding its movements with his left

(A) Having the right hand and arm being crippled by a sniper's bullet during the First World War
(B) In spite of his right hand and arm being crippled by a sniper's bullet during the First World War
(C) Because there had been a sniper's bullet during the First World War that crippled his right hand
and arm.
(D) The right hand and arm being crippled by a sniper's bullet during the First World War
(E) His right hand and arm crippled by a sniper's bullet during the First World War



Could you please explain the answer ? I didn't get why it is not B, as here contrast is demanded.

Meaning of Sentence - Since his hand & arm was crippled, Horace worked by......

B changes the meaning - it says - Even though his hand & arm was hit by bullet, Horace worked by.....

B is grammatically correct but since it changes meaning, it is incorrect.

Conclusion : Press the Thanks Button ;)
