A) Having hundreds of miniature eyes called ommatidia, help explain why scientist have assumed that it
B) Having hundreds of miniature eyes that are called ommatidia, helps explain why scientist have assumed that they
C) With its hundreds of miniature eyes that are called ommatidia, helps explain scientists’ assuming that they
D) With its hundreds of miniature eyes called ommatidia, help explain scientists’ assuming that it
E) With its hundreds of miniature eyes called ommatidia, helps explain why scientists have assumed that it

Answer 1

Hint:The given sentence is describing the assumption which is made by the scientists that the eye of the insect has developed independently of the vertebrate eye.

Complete answer:
 Option A is “Having hundreds of miniature eyes called ommatidia, help explain why scientist have assumed” and option B is “Having hundreds of miniature eyes that are called ommatidia, helps explain why scientist have assumed that they” both are incorrect answers as in this statement given in the question the use of the words ‘compound insect eye ‘which is singular and the others words used in the sentence are ‘having hundreds of eyes ’ and using having makes the sentence quite complex so in the place of ‘having’ the word ‘with’ should be used to make the sentence correct. Therefore, Option A and B both are incorrect. Option C is “With its hundreds of miniature eyes that are called ommatidia, helps explain scientists’ assuming that they’” and Option D is “With its hundreds of miniature eyes called ommatidia, help explain scientists’ assuming that it’” both are again incorrect answers for the above-asked question as at the beginning of the sentence it is described that the insect eye is made up of hundreds of miniature eyes and therefore using ‘with its hundreds of miniature eyes’ is incorrect hence, both option C and D are incorrect. Option E is “With its hundreds of miniature eyes called ommatidia, helps explain why scientists have assumed that it” is the correct answer for the question asked as it is the grammatically correct sentence.

Note:
 The correct answer that is option E is grammatically correct as well as it is simplified and that makes it easy to understand.
