Analysts blamed May's sluggish retail sales on unexciting merchandise as well as the weather, colder and wetter than was usual in some regions, which slowed sales of barbecue grills and lawn furniture.

(A) colder and wetter than was usual in some regions, which slowed
(B) which was colder and wetter than usual in some regions, slowing
(C) since it was colder and wetter than usually in some regions, which slowed
(D) being colder and wetter than usually in some regions, slowing
(E) having been colder and wetter than was usual in some regions and slowed

OA after sometime!

(A) colder and wetter than was usual in some regions, which slowed ( which pronoun modifies regions )
(B) which was colder and wetter than usual in some regions, slowing (correct slowing modifies action in the preceding clause and the subject is "which ")
(C) since it was colder and wetter than usually in some regions, which slowed ( no reference for pronoun "it " which pronoun refers to regions )
(D) being colder and wetter than usually in some regions, slowing (Being seems to modify analysts)
(E) having been colder and wetter than was usual in some regions and slowed (having been modifies analysts )

Hi,

I feel the usage of usually in C being awkward

A FEW QUESTIONS OF MY OWN
iN a DOES COLDER AND WETTER MODIFY WEATHER THAT COMES BEFORE THE COMMA
iN b
WHY IS `WAS ` NOT REQUIRED BEFORE USUAL
IN D
WHAT DOES BEING MODIFY
IN E
WHAT DOES HAVING BEEN MODIFY
