Although various eighteenth-and nineteenth-century American poets had professed an interest in Native American poetry and had pretended to imitate Native American forms in their own works, until almost 1900, schoolars and critics did not begin seriously to study traditional Native American poetry in native languages.
A until almost 1900, scholars and critics did not begin seriously to study  
B  until almost 1900 scholars and critics had not begun seriously studying
C  not until almost 1900 were scholars and critics to begin seriously to study
D  it was not almost until 1900 when scholars and critics began to seriously study
E  it was not until almost 1900 that scholars and critics seriously began studying

c 中begin seriously to study，说awkard and wordy，必须 seriously began studying？

up，求教

小布头

我觉得的是"to begin... to study" wordy

小鬼和灵

E为什么是seriously began studying？用ing形式？而不是用seriously began to study?

求教……

我爱SAAB

我觉得C答案有两个错误
一是，其中含有be to do结构，GMAT中很少用be to do结构，可以参见OG解释，肯定是有说过的；
二是，seriously的位置不对，修饰对象不清

关于begin to do和begin doing，我之前也研究过，GMAT倾向使用后者

begin to do(表停下来做某事), begin doing表开始做某事,根据这句话的意思，应该是用doing,开始做某事

我查了longman字典，没有发现begin to do 和begin doing的区别。

另外，翻og 12和语文分册，也没有找到区别。请指正。
