The artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir's last word was "flowers," spoken as a bouquet consisting of roses just picked from his garden were arranged in a vase on his bedroom windowsill.

a. as a bouquet consisting of roses just picked from his garden were arranged

b. as a bouquet of roses, just picked from his garden, were arranged

c. as a bouquet of roses just picked from his garden was being arranged

d. during the arrangement of a bouquet of roses, just picked from his garden

e. while they arranged a bouquet of roses that had just been picked, from his garden
In A and B, were arranged (plural) does not agree with bouquet (singular).
Eliminate A and B.

D: the arrangement of a bouquet
A bouquet is an ARRANGEMENT of flowers.
Thus, the arrangement of a bouquet is redundant.
Eliminate D.

In E, they lacks a clear referent.
Eliminate E.

The correct answer is C.

Mitch,

Thank you for the explanation.

Is this sentence testing 'past progressive'? Something that goes like this- I was sleeping when you came in or I was sleeping as you called me?

Is this line of reasoning valid?

Thanks in advance

IMO, The structure closely says,
The aritist's last ward was(simple past) "flowers",as a bouquet (of roses) was being arranged(past continuous)

Two events happened at the same time in the past and first event was a consequence of second event.
What is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy's strategy.
