1.based on narratives of various ancient scholors
2.basing it on various ancient scholors narratives
3.with narratives of various scholors used for a basis
4.by the narratives of various ancient scholors they used
5.using narratives of various scholors

A and C seem to act as modifiers for the rough sketch
D is tooooo lengthy

Confused b/w B and E

Will go with B as it is more similar to the original sentence...

OA plz..

Is it E, it correctly uses modifier 'Using narratives' to modify Historians

Based on narratives of various ancient scholors,historians have drawn a rough sketch of the activities of an all-female cult that ,possibly as early as the 7th century B.C.,worshipped a goddess in Hindi known as shoobh lakshmi"the auspicious goddess".

1.based on narratives of various ancient scholors
2.basing it on various ancient scholors narratives
3.with narratives of various scholors used for a basis
4.by the narratives of various ancient scholors they used
5.using narratives of various scholors

1 - What is based on narratives of various ancient scholors? The rough sketsch and not historians. This is modifying historians. Or it should be
Based on narratives of various ancient scholors, rough sketch was drawn by historians
2,3,4 are all awkward
5. Correct as it states that Ussing narrattive, historians developed the sketch
