41). Starting at age four, Mozart's father began taking him on tours of the capitals of Europe, in order to demonstrate his musical talents.

(A). Mozart's father began taking him on tours of the capitals of Europe, in order to demonstrate his musical talents

(B). Mozart's father began taking the boy on tours of the capitals of Europe, to demonstrate his musical talents

(C). Mozart began accompanying his father on tours of the capitals of Europe, to demonstrate his own musical talents

(D). Mozart was accompanying his father on tours of Europe's capitals, to demonstrate his musical talents

(E). Mozart's father began taking him on tours of the capitals of Europe, to demonstrate the boy's musical talents

[spoiler]OA=C[/spoiler]

I got the OA, but explanation says, second 'his' in D is ambiguous , while same 'his' is Not Ambiguous :(
How come, Am I missing anything logic here?

You brought very good point to my notice today...thanks a lot for the same....

When I solved this Q first time, I marked D as answer and obviously it is wrong.

in D, yes, 'his' is confusing. In C, his is clear because of word 'own'. 'Own' keeps the intended meaning as it is.

In D we are not sure whether Mozart was accompanying to demonstrate his (own or father's) talents

Hope this will help

Can someone explain why D is incorrect, and the ambiguity issue in D vs C

(D). Mozart was accompanying his father on tours of Europe's capitals, to demonstrate his musical talents

Pronoun ambiguity is no more a big issue as evident in many official problems. That’s why please look out for other issues here.

It seems you have already narrowed it down to C and D.
Between capitals of Europe (C) and Europe's capitals (D), former is preferable.
C uses simple past whereas D uses past progressive tense. In this context, simple past is preferable.

P.S. Please note, if at all you have to make a guess on tenses on GMAT, please keep yourself away from progressive tenses. This does not give a cent percent hit rate; however, it is better than blind guess work.

Please let me know if you have any other question.
