Question

Replace the underlined words, if necessary:

In no other historical sighting did Hailey's Comet cause such a worldwide sensation as did its return in 1910-1911.

• A. No change
  
• B. Had its 1910-1911 return
• C. In its return in 1910-1911
• D. Its return of 1910-1911 did
• E. Its return in 1910-1911

Answer 1

The correct option is C In its return in 1910-1911

The complexity of the sentence by adding another clause increases its ambiguity. Hence, making a simple sentence by substituting the clause with a prepositional phrase starting with "in" would make it clear. Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not clarify the sentence, hence incorrect.
