(A) the composer of Symphony No. 5 was a brilliant musician, Thomas Vornle, who many later called the "Father of the Music" for his
(B) ThomasVornle's Symphony No. 5, who many later called the "Father of the Music" for his
(C) Symphony No. 5 was composed by a brilliant musician, Thomas Vornle, who many later called the "Father of the Music" for his
(D) Symphony No. 5's composer was a brilliant musician, Thomas Vornle, whom many later called the "Father of the Music for his

==> This means that the "composer, rather than the Symphony, has been written in Belgium".

See the difference:

The book---> It means the book.
The book's writer---> It means a person.


(E) Symphony No. 5 was composed by a brilliant musician, Thomas Vornle, whom many later called the "Father of the Music" for his

I narrowed down to option C or E because of the symphony No.5 correctly modifies 'Written in Belgium'.
I used substitution of 'he' for 'who' and 'him' for 'whom'.But that doesn't make sense here.My question is how do I identify whether who or whom shld be used .

The OA is E

Using a computer model to estimate future productivity, the accuracy of such an estimate is higher than that achieved using other methods.

A. Using a computer model to estimate future productivity

==> It means that "the accuracy is using the computer model"

B. By the use of a computer model to estimate future productivity

==> Same as it is in A

C. If a computer model is used to estimate future productivity
D. With a computer model for estimating future productivity

With X, Y--> means Y has X. So, the sentence means that "the accuracy has computer model"

E. Estimating future productivity with a computer model

==> It means that "the accuracy is estimating the future.."


[Tips: Read the Manhattan sentence correct guide at least three times. Read the Official Guide at least three times. Read each and every single explanation of the official guide because these are the explanations written by the test writers of the real exam. You will learn lot of things.]

Please help me understand whats wrong with the original sentence and how do I arrive at the answer ?

OA is C.

Thanks in advance.

Also if someone could provide a more detailed explanation of the first question on the use of subject and object pronoun that would be great.
