Wherever this came from, it needs to be edited / proofed. viidyasagar's right - there are no correct answers here.

When you're typing in a problem, PLEASE proofread the entire problem carefully. And when you're studying, try to study from the original source. A lot of you have been spending time on this one trying to find the right answer, and you've probably been driving yourselves crazy trying to justify one of the answers (E? A?), when they're all wrong!

Here's the correctly-transcribed problem:

Correct ans. is 'E'

Lets see the explanation


A. that were cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar , Syria , have yielded strong evidence for centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East that were arising simultaneously with but

'that were cut' is not wrong but unnecessary ;'evidence for ' is unidiomatic

B. that were cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar , Syria , yields strong evidence that centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East that were arising simultaneously with but also

'trenches' require plural form not singular 'yields' ;'were arising' wrong as there is no continuous process.

C. having been cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar , Syria , have yielded strong evidence that centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East that were arising simultaneously but

'having been .....have yielded' awkward ;'simulataneously but independently of' not parallel

D. that were cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar , Syria , yields strong evidence for centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East arising simultaneously but also

E. cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar , Syria , have yielded strong evidence that centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East arose simultaneously with but --Correct


Press Kudos ,if it helped :)
