Studying the art for several years, practicing difficult notes every day, and frequent performances has enabled the young pianist to secure a contract with the country's biggest music company.
(A) and frequent performances has enabled the young pianist
(B) as well as frequent performances have enabled the young pianist
(C) and performing frequently, the young pianist has been enabled
(D) and frequent performances have enabled the young pianist
(E) and performing frequently enabled the young pianist

[spoiler]OA is E ,my doubt is "performing frequently enabled" is this construction correct. What is adverb "frequently" modifying [/spoiler]

Though I fell for C initially, E is a better (not the best) construction. I will let the experts to comment about the option E.

To answer your ques, frequently is modifying performing.

This is a parallelism question actually.

Studying... practicing... performing.

So, on the basis of parallelism, A, B and E are eliminated.

The wording in C is incorrect because has been enabled suggests that someone else has enabled him whereas he himself has garnered the contract. So, C is incorrect.

E is correct.

As correctly pointed out by TheStartupGuy, frequently is modifying performing.

Remember an adverb always modifies the verb it is connected to! So, with adverbs you should know that it is modifying the verb!!

is "performing" here a verb?
isnt it a noun


i also chose E option because of parallelism , and i know adverb always ties to verb

in

"performing frequently enabled"

here enabled is also a verb...

and is "performing" here a verb or a noun. i think it is noun... experts please

My apologies on having made an error in my earlier post.

Performing here is the noun, I think frequently is being used as an adjective here and enabled is the verb-ed modifier.

As the subject of the phrase, i.e., performing is not doing the verb enabled, therefore this enabled here is acting as a verb-ed modifier.

I hope this is correct.

Experts may please give their opinions as well!!
