Hello!

Can someone please explain the difference between options D & E?

The team streamed into the locker room, donned their uniforms, and, before commencing its first practice, they joined in a brief strategy session.

B) and its first practice was preeceded by a brief strategy session
C) and a brief strategy session preeceded its first practice
D) and, before commencing their first practice, they joined in a brief strategy session
E) and, before commencing their first practice, joined in a brief strategy session

Thanks so much!

In option D, they is not required and is redundant. The last clause still makes sense if you remove the clause before it....streamed into the locker room, donned their uniforms and joined in a brief strategy session.

What is the source of the question.
