In 1977, in his fifth attempt to race through the Grand Canyon, Barnabas Mosby not only raced through the canyon rim to rim, making the roundtrip for thirty-nine miles instead of the minimal nineteen, but he bested the agility achievement as well, by running through the difficult path in almost a day faster than anyone had yet managed.

[A] but he bested the agility achievement as well, by running through the difficult path in almost a day faster than anyone had yet managed

but also bested the agility achievement, running through the difficult path almost a day faster than anyone had yet managed

[C] but also ran through the difficult path almost a day faster than anyone had yet managed, and besting the achievement for agility

[D] but also besting the achievement for agility by running the difficult path in almost a day faster than anyone had yet managed

[E] but running the difficult path in almost a day faster than anyone had yet managed, he also bested the agility achievement

In this option B is the correct choice. But if we chance and besting to ,besting in the option C, then will it be a better choice?

Hi prakherrajeev,

This should be in the SC Forum (this is the CR Forum). What is the source of this question? I ask because the sentence is written in an awkward style.

In answer to your question though: the phrase "the agility achievement" is preferable to "the achievement for agility", so Answer C would still not be correct (even if you changed "besting" to "bested").
