rajesh_inf Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Option E is more wordier.... While Option C looks simple and it places the modified word "the Maya" in correct place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitzi Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 "Architects and stonemasons" refers to people. Therefore, the Maya should be the subject of the sentence. Correct answer should be C. Please note that any modifiers CAN'T be located in front of "THERE IS(ARE) construction in D) Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
