After moving to Switzerland in the 1890's, Albert Einstein attended the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich, receiving in-depth training in quantitative analysis and developing a foundation for his future work in mathematical physics.
a. attended the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich, receiving in-depth training in quantitative analysis and developing
b. attended the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich, receiving in-depth training in quantitative analysis and developed
c. attended the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich, received in-depth training in quantitative analysis, and he developed
d. attended the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich, received in-depth training in quantitative analysis, developing
e. attending the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich, receiving in-depth training in quantitative analysis, and developing


My doubt is in original sentence, "receiving in-depth training in quantitative analysis and developing a foundation" acts as modifier which modifies the action of school attendance or does this phrase simply follows the action of school attendance??

IMO the answer is A, because receiving and developing looks to modify attended because of the comma just before them and after attended. Both of them should be parallel, so receiving and developing seems to be correct, IMO.

Pls underline the sentence

B for me.

a. attended the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich, receiving in-depth training in quantitative analysis and developing

Albert E did two things, attended & developed

b. attended the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich, receiving in-depth training in quantitative analysis and developed

c. attended the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich, received in-depth training in quantitative analysis, and he developed

AND must be there to separate 'attended' & 'received'

d. attended the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich, received in-depth training in quantitative analysis, developing

AND must be there to separate 'attended' & 'received'

e. attending the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich, receiving in-depth training in quantitative analysis, and developing

attending must be attended

Yeah A is correct coz B has a small issue. It doesnt have a comma before 'and developed'.
