The Iroquois were primarily planters, but
supplementing their cultivation of maize, squash,
and beans with fishing and hunting.
(A) but supplementing
(B) and had supplemented
(C) and even though they supplemented
(D) although they supplemented
(E) but with supplementing
Grammatical construction; Verb form
Th e participle supplementing would normally be
expected to modify the first clause, describing or
extending its meaning, but the logic of this
sentence demands a contrast, not an extension.
Consequently, the second part of the sentence
must be revised to emphasize the contrast
properly. Th e logic of the sentence also argues
against a construction that would set the two
clauses and the importance of their content equal
when they clearly should not be. Th e best solution
is to have the main clause describe the primary
activity, and a subordinate clause, although they
supplemented, describe the supplementary activity.



加黑体字的没怎么琢磨明白。。。望大牛赐教哟

简单说就是
这两个分句的逻辑性搞反了
应该是 S V O, although s v o.
而原句（A选项）给出的是 S V O, but  s v o.

黑体字下面还有一句话，the best solution... ，仔细在看看哦，再揣摩一下。。。
