<p>Since William the Conqueror in 1066, every British sovereign has been crowned in Westminster Abbey except Edward V and Edward VIII, neither of them were crowned.</p>

<p>Answer Choices<br>
(A) neither of them were<br>
(B) neither were<br>
(C) neither of whom was<br>
(D) with neither being<br>
(E) with neither who had been </p>

<p>I chose C which is the correct answer.
I want to know why C but not D.</p>

<p>In fact C seems like a main clause but there is no conjunction to connect main clauses before neither.</p>

<p>This is from the online course right? I somewhat remember doing this problem, not really sure.</p>

<p>Anyways I think it should be “with neither OF THEM being” for it to be correct.</p>

3

<p>I think its D.</p>

<p>Nvm reread ur post</p>

<p>I score 700+ writing and I find this one pretty hard to.</p>

4

<p>This is how I thought about. C is not an independent clause because " whom" are referring to Edward V and Edward III.</p>

5

<p>Bump char10…</p>

6

<p>You should typically avoid gerunds on fixing sentences MC questions because they are considered “wordy.” They will usually be “grammatically correct,” but there is almost always a better answer.</p>

7

<p>^D is shorter than C.</p>

<p>I guess this type is called subgroup modifier.</p>
