184.      (27974-!-item-!-188;#058&002670)         (GWD-10-Q41)

In1713, Alexander Pope began his translation of the Iliad, a work that, takinghim seven years until completion, and that literary critic Samuel Johnson,Pope's contemporary, pronounced the greatest translation in any language.
A.his translation of the Iliad, a work that, taking him seven years untilcompletion, and that literary critic Samuel Johnson, Pope's contemporary,pronounced
B.his translation of the Iliad, a work that took him seven years to complete andthat literary critic Samuel Johnson, Pope's contemporary, pronounced
C.his translation of the Iliad, a work that had taken seven years to complete andthat literary critic Samuel Johnson, Pope's contemporary, pronounced it as
D.translating the Iliad, a work that took seven years until completion and thatliterary critic Samuel Johnson, Pope's contemporary, pronounced it as
E.translating the Iliad, a work that had taken seven years to complete andliterary critic Samuel Johnson, Pope's contemporary, pronounced it


B is right.
But why not E ?
1. is it because translation is better than translating? Noun better than Ving?
2. is it because we don't use “present perfect” or “pluperfect ” tense when we say"it takes sb some time to do sth"?

cos: in E, the appositive phrase a work … incorrectly refers to the Iliad; the coordinating conjunction introduces inappropriate
emphasis on Johnson’s description, and the expression is awkward and unclear.( cited from OG12)
