I've read this sentence so many times. The problem is that every time I try to answer, I choose C! I simply cannot figure out why C is wrong. The quote above is the ultimate explanation I found for dismissing C.
So you say that C can simply be dismissed because 'which were differing' uses a wrong verb tense. When I look this sentence, I don't see what is wrong in the tense. For example :
'the people were thinking'. I suppose this is a correct sentence which uses an intransitive verb, like 'differ'.
So can you please explain a little more this point which seems to be so obvious but to me!
