I understood why the option E for OG13 SC 70 is right but whether using "with" after simultaneously creates a case of dangling preposition? And whether statement will still be correct without "with"?
The statement goes like this:
The first trenches cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence that centrally administered complex societies in the northern regions of the Middle East arose simultaneously with but independently of the more celebrated city states of southern Mesopotamia, in what is now southern Iraq.
