Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct ordering and explanation: place the temporal phrase immediately after 'through' and the modifier after the noun it describes.
Step 1: Combine the clause that ends with 'through' and the time phrase so that 'through' is followed immediately by 'the 17th century, particularly in Protestant Germany and the Netherlands.'
Step 2: Attach the main verb phrase 'gave rise to many propagandistic and patriotic strips' after that completed subject phrase to form the main clause.
Step 3: Place the modifying phrase 'based on contemporary political events' after 'strips' so it clearly modifies the types of strips mentioned.
Full sentence: The Reformation and the ensuing wars of religion through the 17th century, particularly in Protestant Germany and the Netherlands, gave rise to many propagandistic and patriotic strips based on contemporary political events.
