Based on records from ancient Athens, each year young Athenian women collaborated to weave a new woolen robe that they used to d
ress a statue of the goddess Athena and that this robe depicted scenes of a battle between Zeus, Athena's father, and giants. (A) Based on records from ancient Athens, each year young Athenian women collaborated to weave a new woolen robe that they used to dress
(B) Based on records from ancient Athens, young Athenian women had collaborated to weave a new woolen robe with which to dress
(C) According to records from ancient Athens, each year young Athenian women collaborated to weave a new woolen robe that they used to dress
(D) Records from ancient Athens indicate that each year young Athenian women collaborated to weave a new woolen robe with which they dressed
(E) Records from ancient Athens indicate each year young Athenian women had collaborated to weave a new woolen robe for dressing
Option A and C makes the same mistake. The use of "woolen robe that they used" makes it seem as though the woolen robe was a tool used to help them dress their goddess so it is wrong.
While Option B addresses the issue with option A using a "with which" instead of "that", however the use of past perfect tense "had collaborated" eliminates both Option B and Option E.
Option D addresses all the problems mentioned in the other options.
None of the above options explains the question above
Explanation:
From the above question, Athenian women collaborated to weave a new woolen robe that they used to dress a statue of the goddess Athena and that this robe explains/shows the battle between Zeus, Athena father and giants not cloth they weave to wear at new year.
The options below only states that the young women come together to weave woolen robe to dress which is not what the passage explains.
So therefore, none of the options explains what the passage is talking about.
