In the first question, the answer is C because A has an improper modifier. The final clause in the original sentence, describes the coal market itself, rather than specifically the Appalachian coal mining. In option C it is clear that Appalachian coal mining began in the 1800’s. In the second question, it is E because of parallelism. Parallelism requires the same structure to be used in writing, and should always be used. In E the first verb is present tense, and so is the second, therefore it has parallel structure. Always look for verbs to be in the same tense, to exhibit parallelism.
