1. OG说D的修饰词顺序无理可循。 almost应该形容1900，直接在1900前面。
2. 在LZ总结的强调句中，not until是在一起的。
3. C的错误，不仅在于be to do的awkward也好wordy也好，还在于seriously形容began，而逻辑意思应该让他形容study。认真地学习，而不是认真地开始。这个错误A、E也有。
4. 如果C改成，not until almost 1900 did scholars and critics begin to  seriously study还可以考虑。

Although various eighteenth-and nineteenth-century American poets had professed an interest in Native American poetry and had pretended to imitate Native American forms in their own works, until almost 1900, schoolars and critics did not begin seriously to study traditional Native American poetry in native languages.

A until almost 1900,scholars and critics did not begin seriously to study
B until almost 1900 scholars and critics had not begun seriously studying
C not until almost 1900 were scholars and critics to begin seriously to study
D it was not almost until 1900 when scholars and critics began to seriously study
E it was not until almost 1900 that scholars and critics seriously began studying


5个答案中只有A将until almost 1900这个状语作为插入语，用逗号和前后分开。那么修饰的谓语存在歧义了，可以向前修饰had professed... and had pretended... ，也可以向后是did not begin...
