In her later poems, Phyllis Wheatley's blending of solar imagery, Judeo-Christian thought and figures, and the images she borrowed from ancient classicism suggesting her range and depth of influences, not the least of which is her African heritage.

A: the images she borrowed from ancient classicism suggesting
B: borrowing images from ancient classicism, suggests
C: she borrowed images from ancient classicism, which suggests
D: images borrowed from ancient classicism suggests
E: images that she borrowed from ancient classicism, suggesting

OA: D

[spoiler] Can anyone explain what is the subject and verb within the sentence? I thought the above had a compound subject so I am confused. Thanks![/spoiler]

this is a parallel construction question.

Hence the correct answer should be D.

Break the sentence into 3 parts:
Phillip Wheatley's "blending"
"of A, B, C and D"
"suggests"
