The attention of this article is on the grammatical arrangement and sentence formation.

Option A - INCORRECT
Here, there is clearly no difference between what's been asked to do in the question passage and the sentence provided in the option . It does invalidate the option A.

Option B - INCORRECT
The sentence is present in form of "John pershing " but the object is not stated clearly which makes the statement more ambiguous. Although it still remain logical albeit with little semblance to the content.

Option C - INCORRECT
The statement seeks to explain the George washington got the award alongside John Pershing which is not correct because he only got his after John Pershing had gotten his.

Option D- CORRECT
First and foremost, the punctuation here i.e semi colon explains the difference between the subject and object predicates in this sentence formation. It is clear who first got the award and why and how George washington got his although after his death.

Option E - INCORRECT
The statement here is not grammatically in line with set-up. The arbitrary use of punctuation seeks to change the meaning of the statement.
