(E) Pledging a $100 million investment in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World, on Columbus Day 1992, the initiation of Project SETI took place.
正确答案是C选项，白大侠对此的解释是project SETI作为initiated的逻辑主语，意思合理，on Columbus Day就近修饰initiated，修饰对象合理。
我的问题是five centuries作为什么成分啊？
请教各位大侠了，谢谢！

Good question. Not so easy.

It may be adverbial, or it may be qualifier of 'Columbus Day 1992'.

我偏好tianwan斑竹的第二种看法，做同位语修饰'Columbus Day 1992'.
