"domesticating the camel" was not dated.. it was the process of domestication..mankey wrote:The domesticated camel, which some scholars date around the twelfth century B.C., was the key to the development of the spice trade in the ancient world.

IMO: D
(A) The domesticated camel, which some scholars date
Doesn't make sense. One cannot date a domesticated camel, unless they are into that sort of thing.
(B) The domesticated camel, which some scholars having thought to occur
Sounds weird
(C) Domesticating the camel, dated by some scholars at
"Domesticating" does not agree with tense
(D) The domestication of the camel, thought by some scholars to have occurred
Now this one looks pretty good. Tenses agree and it is clear that we are talking about the impact of the domestication of the camel.
(E) The camel's domestication, dated by some scholars to have been
"Have been" is present perfect, but our sentence deals with the past.

I don't know what to say, really. Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives. You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game - life or football - the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite catch it. I'll tell you this, in any fight it's the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch. That's football guys, that's all it is. Now, what are you gonna do?
