{Very popular from 1900 until the 1920's, the renewed interest in ceiling fans began} when the energy crisis in 1974 f9rced homeowners to look for alternative methods of heating and cooling.
A.
B. The renewed interest in ceiling fans, which were very popular from 1910 until the 1920s began
C. After they were very popular from 1900 until the 1920's, the renewed interest in ceiling fans was beginning
D. Ceiling fans were very popular from 1900 until the 1920's, with renewed interest beginning in them
E. From 1900 until the 1920's ceiling fans were very popular, and now the renewed interest in them has begun
Why b is correcct and e is incorrect?
*****************************************
*****************************
My personal Explanation:
238.
The Correct Ans. is (B).
E is incorrect. First because “From 1900until the 1920’s” is awkward and wordy, we should say “From 1900 to … ”; Second reason is that “has begun” has no reason to be here: have/has + V.p.p. should be with “a period” in which the V. lasted and till now.
Hope it is clear. Have any more questions, pls feel free to contact with me. Let’s discuss and grow up together.

小弟补充一下....
当初 白大仙的解释：
208 E 除了楼上的解释 还有就是 ability to ...与can的区别啊！ ability 是说某个东东有某种能力... can表示一种判断...
214 白说“term=a process 你有毛病！”
225 只有 an amount 和 figure 可以比较....
238 e 的 now 也不对啊..

thanks to victor_jzg and 卧室春竹，偶有些明白了。
以上是偶明白了的一些想法，如有不对，望指正。
但还有一些不明白的地方：
238题，victor兄弟的解释中，第一点说"from 1900until the 1920's"与"from 1900 to ...."的区别，可是在B,E中不是一样的吗？选项e时态的确有问题，但为什么其他选项不对呢？其句子结构又是怎样呢？
还有225题，平行结构不是说助动词和介词尽量补出吗？如果正确选项中有助动词补出是否更完美些？如可以助动词是was吗？
