One pervasive theory explains the introduction of breakfast cereals in the early 1900s as a result of the growing number of automobiles, which led to a decline in horse ownership and a subsequent grain glut; by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, market equilibrium was restored.

我认为E的错有3个. 1)很明显,被动不是最好 2)when用的不当, when表示同时性, 这里应是casual relationship, 用because, since, as等比较好. 3)former horse feed变成真的叫人去吃马粮了. 这里的意思应是: grain是以前喂马的, 现在马少了, grain多出来了, 所以那些多余的做成breakfast cereal来卖, 从而平衡了market. 但不是劝人去吃马粮.
