Although various eighteenth-and nineteenth- century American poets had professed an interest in Native American poetry and had pretended to imitate Native American forms in their own works, until almost 1900, scholars and critics did not begin seriously to study traditional Native American poetry in native languages.

(a) until almost 1900, scholars and critics did not begin seriously to study
(b) until almost 1900 scholars and critics had not begun seriously studying
(c) not until almost 1900 were scholars and critics to begin seriously to study
(d) it was not almost until 1900 when scholars and critics began to seriously study
(e) it was not until almost 1900 that scholars and critics seriously began studying

此题正确选项E
本人选的C
想请问，seriously 为什么放在begin后边就不对呢，记得lily老师说修饰语位置不能随便改动，为什么此题就是放在begin前边了。我做错的题目类型中好多是此类型题目。请问有什么方法吗？

c 太多余了， be to begin to do sth ,    be to 表示将要，与begin有些重复

其实所谓的修饰语不换位置的原则，要谨慎看这个原则。
个人觉得make no sense，因为原句也只是选项的一个，为什么要以原句为标准？
这个只能是个经验的原则，概率来看，原句的位置通常是对的。但是不能以这个作为唯一标准。先从语法的角度考虑，再从其他的入手
