Source - not sure. Author must have modified another similar question.
The Washington monument's defects in its supporting structure that led to its deterioration have been corrected, according to the engineers at the National Museum of American History.
A) The Washington monument's defects in its supporting structure that led to its deterioration
B) The Washington monument's defects in its supporting structure, leading to its deterioration
C) Leading to its deterioration, the Washington monument's defects in its supporting structure
D) The defects that the Washington monument had in its supporting structure that led to its deterioration
E) The defects in the supporting structure of the Washington monument which led to its deterioration
Seems like a typical modifier problem. Author claims OA is E, but that doesn't look right to me at all.
I personally went with D. I'll post my reasoning after a few replies.
Comments and rationale please!
