Kiowa matriarch

[iwill]

72.Aho, a Kiowa matriarch, held festivals in her home, they featured the preparation of great quantities of ceremonial food, the wearing of many layers of colorful clothing adorned with silver, and the recounting of traditional tribal jokes and stories.
(A) Aho, a Kiowa matriarch, held festivals in her home, they featured
(B) Festivals were held in Aho, a Kiowa matriarch’s home, which featured
(C) Aho, who was a Kiowa matriarch in her home, held festivals featuring
(D) In her home, Aho, a Kiowa matriarch, held festivals that featured
(E) Aho, a Kiowa matriarch, held festivals in her home that featured

IMO D

[sibbineni]

IMO D

[raunekk]

in E....

IT seems "homes:" featured the preparation of great quantities of ceremonial food ...because of the use of "that" after "homes"...

Instead its the "festivals" that featured the preparation....


Hence D.

this is a perfect example of why problems from non-official sources, or problems that are altogether unsourced, are suspect.

if there's any good reason to disqualify choice (e), it's exactly the reason posited by "raunekk" above: the juxtaposition of "that" and "home" commits the modifier to modifying "home".

sounds good, but there's one big problem: the gmat doesn't follow that rule. in fact, this "rule" is in direct contravention of the gmat's established practice.
evidence:
og11 diagnostic test (front of book), question #50.
in the correct answer, there is a "that" modifier that acts exactly like the one in choice (e) here (i.e., it doesn't modify the adjoining noun "internet" but, rather, a much more distant noun).

--

therefore, according to the rules followed by the gmat itself - which are, of course, the only rules that matter in this game - choice (e) would also be fine.

Dont you think in D (In her home, Aho, a Kiowa matriarch), it seems Aho is the name of home of a Kiowa matriarch?

Kindly reply to the concept

Kindly reply to the concept

'In her home' is a prepositional phrase and does not modify Aho

So how do we identify these tricks??????
D and E both are correct, but which one should be preferred??
