Answer to Question 49
The pronoun which should be used to refer to a previously mentioned noun, not to the idea expressed in an entire clause. In A, C, and E, which seems to refer to a vague concept involving the detection of moons, but there is no
specific noun, such as detection, to which it can refer. Also in E, the use of the phrasing the number... now known that orbit is ungrammatical and unclear. B and D use the correct participial form, doubling, to modify the preceding
clause, but D, like A, uses known as orbiting rather than known to orbit, a phrase that is more idiomatic in context. B, therefore, is the best answer.

Can some one pls have a look at question 49??
in B and D, where both the choices use "doubling"....
if we go by parallel structure...we can also see that in option B..
"orbiting" would be better as compared to "to orbit"..
i am drawin this parallelism seeing the usage of verb circle( used for Uranus)..
pls help..

TIA
