Hi,

Could someone help to explain this one, as "most of them..." serves as modifier for the noun "planets", is it reasonable to understand "which" in choice D is used to "planets" instead of "Jupiter"?

Thank for helping me!

Hi,

Could someone help to explain why B is wrong? Is the use of "beginning" considered wrong in this choice? If so, please help to give me some insights for this one, as I am not very clear about the correct usage of "beginning".

Many thanks! :)
