102.Beatrix Potter, in her book illustrations, carefully coordinating them with her narratives, capitalized on her keen observation and love of the natural world.

(A) Beatrix Potter, in her book illustrations, carefully coordinating them with her narratives,

(B) In her book illustrations, carefully coordinating them with her narratives, Beatrix Potter

(C) In her book illustrations, which she carefully coordinated with her narratives, Beatrix Potter

(D) Carefully coordinated with her narratives, Beatrix Potter, in her book illustrations

(E) Beatrix Potter, in her book illustrations, carefully coordinated them with her narratives and

Logical predication + Rhetorical construction

This sentence awkwardly presents two phrases intended to modify Beatrix Potter and loses the clarity and logic of the meaning. In the original sentence, these modifiers sound choppy and create too much separation between the subject, Beatrix Potter, and the verb capitalized Beginning the sentence with in her book illustrations and following that phrase with the relative clause which she carefully coordinated with her narratives allows the subject, Beatrix Potter, to be united with the verb, capitalized, for a stronger main clause.

A     The modifying elements are poorly placed and leave the subject too far from the verb

B      Phrase carefully coordinating ... illogically modifies the noun that immediately precedes it (book illustrations); Potter, not the illustrations, did the coordinating; awkward and unclear
      

C     Correct. The correct placement of the modifying elements makes this sentence easier to understand; the use of which clearly links the two elements.

D     Carefully coordinated ... absurdly modifies Beatrix Potter rather than her illustrations

E      Them cannot refer to book illustrations because the plural noun is the object of the preposition in; the relationships among the parts of the sentence are unclear

1、这里B和D的解释是不是有些自相矛盾啊？到底Carefully coordinated 应该...？怪怪的，

2、大家能说说此题考的语法点么？做这道题的时候解题感觉有些模糊

3、最后看了以前的帖子，其中有一个观点不知对否，贴出原来请大家看看：对于E的OG解释中说them指代问题：

E
       其中有一种思想应该是主句代词一般不指代从句成分（不知道我有没有理解错，这句话是我总结的），那么以此类推，介词结构在这里作状语，应该也是和从句类似的成分，所以不可以指代。

多谢各位了！！

我看過最好的說明，有關them

The problem is that "in her book illustrations" occurs in E as a
parenthetical phrase, set off with commas. This indicates that the
phrase can be removed from the sentence without damaging its meaning.
But without that phrase, "them" has no referent. The antecedent

to a pronoun in the main clause of the sentence cannot occur ONLY in a parenthetical phrase.
