Eagerly waiting!
Thank you very much!
good question. ick, this problem is ugly.
what's the source? does anybody know the original source of the problem?
i don't see a legitimate antecedent for "that", either. i think the authors are trying to write a sentence in which "that" stands for "historical account", but that doesn't make too much sense -- you can't really have a "historical account gathered" from somewhere. you can have artifacts/scrolls gathered from somewhere, and then a historical account based on those items, but the account itself isn't gathered.
still, it's possible to get down to choice (d) by pure grammar/idiom concerns:
* the subject of the first verb is "historical account", so you can eliminate (a) and (b), which have plural verbs;
* the correct idiom for equating two things in terms of extent is "as ADJ as...", not "so ADJ as...", so kill (e)
* the pronoun must also refer to the historical account, so "their" is wrong in (c)
this leaves (d).
still, an ugly problem. i'd like to know the source.
