hi kartik....D should be correct option...."Tubmans" is not correct ---so it leaves us with optioin D and E.....and then its easy dude....
Hi Parminder,
Option D is correct..Thanks.
hi all,when the word contemporaries is used it mean people who are contemporary to Harriet tubman,,,, so if we write "harriet tubman's" - it does not refer to a person but a characteristic of tubman....when we are comparing two things it has to be on an equal level. so first three ans options are eliminated in the first go... out of the remaining two-D is the correct ans option beacauseE- uses past perfect(had maintained) along with present perfect(has all the qualities...) which is wrng.open to discussion and feedbackregards...dkny.jakhar
