SC problem

by joshi.v123 » Wed Aug 12, 2009 9:42 pm
Opening with tributes to jazz-age divas like Bessie Smith and closing with Koko Taylor’s electrified gravel-and-thunder songs, the program will trace the blues’ vigorous matriarchal line over more than 50 years.
(A) the program will trace
(B) the program shall trace
(C) there will be a program tracing
(D) it is a program that traces
(E) it will be a program tracing
Thanks,
VJ

The Answer should be A.

The phrase " Opening with tributes to jazz-age divas like Bessie Smith and closing with Koko Taylor’s electrified gravel-and-thunder songs" correctly refers and modifies the noun " the program ".


C i think is wrong because the noun must be closer to the noun it modifies.
