Because she knew many of the leaders of colonial America and the American Revolution personally, Mercy Otis Warren was continually at or near the center of political events from 1765 to 1789, a vantage point combining with her talent for writing to make her one of the most valuable historians of the ear

A. a vantage point combining with her talent for writing to make

B. a vantage point, when combined with her talent for writing, that made

C. a vantage point that combined with her talent for writing, and it made

D. and this vantage point, which combined with her talent for writing to make

E. and this vantage point, combined with her talent for writing, made

这个的答案是E，但是为什么B不能选呢，a vantage point 做同位语啊，就像A选项里的意思一样

B 的WHEN是陷阱，PREP解释里头说，GMAT出题，用WHEN的时候要仔细看看，因为容易把WHEN用作引导条件状语从句（实际上是不能的）。。。。。。。。。。when的正确意思是“当什么时候”，所以用“当……时候代进去，是不是句子有点不太通顺？另外，很明显vantage point复指前面的，不是新出现的，应该用THE/THIS，而不是A;而且前面的句子很完整了，句子和句子之间没有关联词不能用逗号。

这句话用同位语是对的，甚至更好，不过ABC都有致命错误，a vantage point, when combined with her talent for writing, that made  去掉中间插入的when，made是a vantage point的谓语，那么that就是有问题的，何况when也不对，楼上讲的

B最后的that也不对…有“跳跃”修饰！
