For almost a hundred years after having its beginning in 1788, England exiled some 160,000 criminals to
Australia.
(A) For almost a hundred years after having its beginning in 1788,
(B) Beginning in 1788 for a period of a hundred years,
(C) Beginning a period of almost a hundred years, in 1788
(D) During a hundred years, a period beginning in 1788,
(E) Over a period of a hundred years beginning in 1788,
OA - E
Doubt ---
Why is B incorrect? I though the initial part i.e "Beginning ..... years," is an adverbial modifier (comma+VERBING category) that modifies the following clause i.e. it talks about when the exile begun and stuff.....
Why does it get considered an adjectival modifier modifying England.
Please guide me if am missing any concept here.
I saw that this question has been posted earlier but by reading them, I could still not clear my doubt.
