Medieval monks, through their manuscript illuminations, meticulously embellishing the elaborate calligraphy, communicated their interpretive understanding of the texts they illustrated.

A)Medieval monks, through their manuscript illuminations, meticulously embellishing the elaborate calligraphy, communicated

B)Through their manuscript illuminations, meticulously embellishing the elaborate calligraphy, medieval monks communicated

C)Through their manuscript illuminations, with which they meticulously embellished elaborate calligraphy, medieval monks communicated

D)Meticulously embellishing the elaborate calligraphy, medieval monks, through their manuscript illuminations communicated

E)Medieval monks, through their manuscript illuminations, meticulously embellished them and communicated

OA is C.

I chose B. It seems logically correct. Please explain why embellishing is wrong and embellished is correct.


When should we have verb+ing in modifier.

Medieval monks - the subject of the sentence - are doing two jobs (verbs): embellish and communicate. Both the verbs sh match tenses and be parallel.

In the given sentence embellishing is not a verb but a participle, modifying what? That's unclear.

Only C and E uses the correct form of both the verbs. But E does not have a clear referent for them - it could be manuscripts or monks. So, E is out.

C is the correct choice.
