Darwin was not the first to advance a theory of evolution; his tremendous originality lay in the fact that he proposed the idea of natural selection as the means by which evolution worked.
[A] lay in the fact that he proposed the idea
laid in the fact that he proposed the idea
[C] laid in the fact of his proposing the idea
[D] laid in his proposal
[E] lay in his proposal
The given OA is A.
Observing the options, there is no problem in coming down to the options between A and B.
I chose B. But the solution says that because the fact is still present, it needs to be present tense and not the past tense.
But I thought that the theory was made in the past and so its rules or fundas also belong to the past.
Can anyone please explain where am I going wrong...
