The Scandinavian assault on Western Europe culminated in the early eleventh century with the Danish conquest of the English kingdom, which other Scandinavian kings attempted to repeat, unsuccessfully later in the same century.

A. which other Scandinavian kings attempted to repeat, unsuccessfully, later in the same century
B. which other Scandinavian kings attempted to repeat later that same century, but not successfully
C. an achievement that other Scandinavian kings attempted later in the century to repeat, but were not successful at it
D. an achievement attempted later in the century by other Scandinavian kings that was not successful
E. an achievement that other Scandinavian kings attempted to repeat later in the century, but without success （E）

C. The coordinating conjunction but introduces a clause that requires a subject and a verb; this version of the sentence provides the verb were but omits the subject.
E. Correct. The appositive an achievement is made into a direct object in the relative pronoun that. The noun Scandinavian kings is the subject of the verb attempted to repeat, which is modified by the adverbial phrase at the end of the sentence, but without success.

不明白为什么C不对，but后面的主语难道不是other Scandinavian kings么，要是把逗号去了就对吗？还有E中but的用法，前面有一个逗号，还能当介词么？总感觉有歧义啊

来看看这个句子结构哦，你看But后面接的那个句子没有主语，按照整个句子结构来看，这个but也是an achievement后面的修饰语，应该是that的一部分才对，可是意思上来看这个were not successful指的确实other scandinavian kings，这是不对的，结构混乱，逻辑上也说不过去。

其实这也是Gmat常用技巧之一，把两个主语混在一个从句里面修饰一个主语，稍不注意读下来就会觉得理所当然，意识不到错误。

谢谢！不过还想问一下，下面这样的结构是不是有问题 an achievement that (other scandinavian kings attempted XXX but were not successful at it)，括号里面but在that后面链接前后主语一致的两个句子，两个句子都是从句。

请问E项中，把逗号中间的部分看做插入语，but---视作与主句联系。这样是否也是歧义还是从语义上看，but这一部分就不能和主句联系起来？

这个句子本身是有问题的。简单说其实就是，定语从句中可以并列了两个谓语。或者说两个不同功能的that从句修饰同一对象，第二个that必须补出。
