Problems in original sentence: on December 17, 2003 MODIFIES North Carolina OR first plane in North Carolina (meaning BROTHERS flew the first plane in North Carolina in 2003, but the part before suggests REPLICA WAS DEDICATED 100 YEARS AFTER - absurd meaning; how can replica is dedicated after 100 yrs when first plane is flown in 2003).

SAME Problem in E. Moreover, in E THE DEIDATION IS ATTRACTING CROWD (its not dedication but replica that can attract crowd).

D also has same problem as A. In addition, this choice reverses the original relationship SUBORDINATE CLAUSE is MADE INTO MAIN CLAUSE (and vice-versa)

B suggests CROWD WAS DEDICATED on 2003 (Dedicated..2003, A 65000 PERSON CROWD....)
