Based on accounts of various ancient writers, scholars have painted a sketchy picture of the activities of an all-female cut that, perhaps as early as the sixth century BC, worshipped a goddess known in Latin as Bona Dea, "the good goddess."

(A)Based on accounts of various ancient writers

(B)Basing it on various ancient writers' accounts

(C)With accounts of various ancient writers used for a basis

(D)By the accounts of various ancient writers they used

(E)Using accounts of various ancient writers

OG给出的解答是：划线句用来修饰scholars

我的疑问是：划线句为什么是用来修饰sholars呢？这个解释我不大明白。我总觉得句子这样比较顺畅：scholars have painted a sketchy picture of the activities of an all-female cut based on accounts of various ancient writers that,....所以我开始做的时候就以为划线是用来修饰all-female cut的

请大家帮助我解决这个问题，谢谢了。
