BrainForge Quiz · Accepted Answer

C) Developed in the 1960s, the new vaccine was originally believed by scientists to eradicate the disease entirely.. The introductory participial phrase 'Developed in the 1960s' must logically modify the subject immediately following it. In the original, it incorrectly modifies 'scientists.' Option C correctly places 'the new vaccine' as the subject.

Developed in the 1960s, scientists originally believed that the new vaccine would eradicate the disease entirely.
