9. Bringing the Ford Motor Company back from the verge of bankruptcy shortly after the Second World War was a special governmentally sanctioned price increase during a period of wage and price controls.
(A) Bringing the Ford Motor Company back from the verge of bankruptcy shortly after the Second World War was a special governmentally sanctioned price increase during a period of wage and price controls.

(E) To bring the Ford Motor Company back from the verge of bankruptcy shortly after the Second World War, there was a special price increase during a period of wages and price controls that government sanctioned.
Choice A, awkward and imprecise, leaves one confused about what it was that happened during a period of wage and price controls—the revitalization of the Ford Motor Company or the sanctioning of a price increase. B, the best answer, clarifies the matter by making during… modify the government sanctioned. Choice C, wordy and awkward, suffers from the same imprecision as choice A. the present perfect has brought in D is inappropriate for action completed well in past, and wages, which should modify control, is not idiomatic. In choice E, wages is again wrong, and E, contrary to intent, suggests that the government sanctioned a period of … controls rather than a special price increase. The question is of middle difficulty.
