In 1713, Alexander Pope began his translation of the
Iliad, a work that, taking him seven years until
completion, and that literary critic Samuel Johnson,
Pope’s contemporary, pronounced the greatest
translation in any language.

contemporary, pronounced

(B) his translation of the Iliad, a work that took him

I'd say B. Less awkward than the other choices, and it seems to be parallel to me:

took him several years...and that Johnson pronounced.

Am I right?

BTW, not to be a nudge, but it would really help if you underline the original sentence. Thank you?

Hi Experts ,

Can you please explain option C? What is wrong with C?

Many thanks in advance.

It is tough between B and D but I would go with D. "translating the Iliad" seeems more concise than "his translation of the Iliad".

Whats the OA?

The OA is B here.

C is incorrect, because there is not antecedent of "it" in the sentence.
Does this help?
