Physics professors, the Arnmore Laboratories and Arnmore Research Facilities were founded by Leo and Fontove Arnmore in 1989 after ten years of fundraising.


(B) Leo and Fontove Arnmore founded the Arnmore Laboratories and Arnmore Research Facilities in 1989, after ten years of fundraising

(E) Leo and Fontove Arnmore founded after ten years of fundraising the Arnmore Laboratories and Arnmore Research Facilities in 1989

please lemme know what is the difference between B an E.. i think it is a modifier issue but it is not a noun modifier then how it matters here the placement of the phrase " after ten years of fundraising"

IMO B, i think modifier should be as close as to what it modifies
It sounds better than E. Founded after, if placed in between the sentence sounds like the scientists founded labs after 'somebody'(ten years of fundraising :?: )..i am not sure of this logic whether it fits well or not..
pls somebody explain

Even I feel it should be 'B'. In E 1989 and 10yrs are too far making the sentence awkward.

If we choose B

Physics professors, Leo and Fontove Arnmore founded the Arnmore Laboratories and Arnmore Research Facilities in 1989, after ten years of fundraising

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the commas denote a non-essential clause?

If it does, then E would be correct even though it sounds passive.
