(B) doubt that Troy has ever existed-wrong bc "doubt" needs to be in the past tense bc it says "by the 18th century" and "has" needs to be "had"
C,D,and E are unidiomatic

the word after Republican must be "president" not "president's" bc the republican is modifying president so A and B are out C is wordy and changes the meaning of the original sentence D is wrong bc there is no reason to use "had"...there is only one action so past tense...

"This movie was never released OR
This movie never released"
the first one is correct bc it means the movie was never released (by a person). the second one is incorrect/illogical bc it suggests that the movie can release things.

C doesn't seem parallel. "would have guessed and (would have) been'
"would have" is understood so there is not reason to repeat it. go with A

the right answer is not necessarily the best one in the world!
so u can always go by POE
"they" is incorrect
"previously" and "in the past" is redundant
that leaves u with E
