(A) until almost 1900, scholars and critics did not begin seriously to study until almost 1900,主句从句之间加了这个时间状语无法确定修饰主句还是从句
(B) until almost 1900 scholars and critics had not begun seriously studying1.从句过去完成时—主语要用一般过去时体现过去时间点 2. 同A
(C) not until almost 1900 were scholars and critics to begin seriously to study were to begin --awkward
(D) it was not almost until 1900 when scholars and critics began to seriously study almost 修饰位置不对强调句除了用that就是who 不用when
(E) it was not until almost 1900 that scholars and critics seriously began studying

在另一张问SC3的帖子里，2010是这样解释begin to do 和 begin doing的：
一般来说，begin to do和begin doing可以互换，但在以下三种情况下，用to do：

1. 主语不是指人，而是it等。如：It began to rain.

2. begin后接表示心理活动的词。如：begin to know
 believe， wonder， think等。

3. begin本身是ing形式，为避免重复后接to do
 即，beginning to do

补充：不知道不等于没有，高一的时候都讲过好几遍了。做题的时候要么没有这个两个选项同时出现，如果有的话，就是这三种区别

----------------------------------
关于C选项，我认为不是LZ所说begin seriously to study的问题，而是to begin seriously to study的问题，原句为倒装句，应先还原顺序再判断，即：
scholars and critics were not to begin seriously to study until almost 1900.
出现了be to do 的结构，但实际上是可以省略的,变为did not begin.
即正确的倒装形式应该为：
not until almost 1900 did scholars and critics begin seriously to study

C中的错误点不在于seriously的位置问题；因为Manhattan上对adv 做modifiers有如下阐述：adv. modifiers do not need to touch the words they modify” 但副词的修饰位置在句中不能产生歧义；这里无论是seriously放在begin之后还是前面，都来表示开始认真地学习与认真的开始学习没什么句意的差别；
这里的awkard 和wordy应该是说were to do begin to do
C当中的were to do (表示打算做某事） 改变了原文表达的意思；
表达否定2中用法，一种是not until放在句首，要用倒装 ；另外一种是it is not until ...that

c中连用两个不定式造成了wordy，对不？
