scholars 不能作based on 或basing 的逻辑主语 排除 A、B、C
D中的介词短语不能表明原意思，选E 简洁

曼哈顿解释：
Based on accounts of various ancient writers is an introductory adjective modifying phrase. In essense, the entire phrase is describing scholars, the noun that follows the phrase. Unfortunately, this description of scholars is nonsensical: scholars are people; thus, they cannot be based on accounts (or based on anything, for that matter). Instead, scholars, as researchers, must use accounts to do their research.
