标题: 885-21

At the time of the Mexican agrarian revolution, the most radical faction, that of Zapata and his followers, proposed a return to communal ownership of land, to what had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards.

(A) land, to what had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards

(B) land, a form of ownership of the pre-Columbians and respected by the Spaniards

(D) land in which a pre-Columbian form of ownership was respected by the Spaniards（A）

(E) land that had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards

Dear XDJM, I wonder what's wrong with E?

Thanks!

E makes readers confused that land had been a form. That is wrong.

that clause in answer E can modify two nouns: land or ownership

when comparing the answer E with answer A, i think A shows preference to E.

we are required to select a best choice. A avoids the defect of confused qulification
