[spoiler]OA is 'B' ..But i am not sure why 'E is wrong.. "Ours" in 'B isn't a dangling modifiers....which one it refers to???[/spoiler]

[kps]

The answer B

E - It says earth reinforces.

[frank1]

i agree with question asker

in B problem i see...

gallileo reinforcing the theory of copernicous still applies....and past tensed doesnt make sense there

If we use past tense,it suggest that ,it was reinforced in the past but is no more valid.....

so E is not bad ,tense-wise

Even I am confused with the word 'ours'.

Can somebody explain the usage.

ours is looking strange.

"Ours" in this context is the possessive pronoun; that is to say, it's the equivalent of "mine" and "yours." In (B), 'ours' replaces the noun 'our system,' and the equivalent but redundant sentence is "Gallileo's theory that our system was indeed a solar system...."

Ans Opt (E) is correct .
I all other options " the sun, reinforced those of the copernicus " is there (wrong usage )
