[CAT 2008]
Statements A and D have no errors. Statement B is wrong because it is in present tense whereas the passage as a whole is in the past tense. Similarly, C is wrong because of the use of present tense in the word 'seem'. The correct usage in this context is 'seemed'. In statement E, the article 'an' should precede the word 'effort'.
