给你贴上prep语法笔记里的解释

C．时间状语until the end of the seventeenth century位置不好，应放到动词remained后面以使introduced修饰life insurance更为清晰，也使得与其修饰对象remained更加接近。

D． Correct；remain如果像在B,C中用了过去完成时语法上并没有错，只是句意就imply了“life insurance在17世纪末以后就变了”，而如果是一般过去时，则有可能18世纪初了英国的寿险可能还是那样子，因为这个改变不是必须的，所以不一定要过去完成时。

typically 后面为什么不需要being 连接呢
