40. The correct answer is D.

The original sentence contains several errors. First, "with an

emphasis on color and form at the expense of exact duplication of

detail" is a modifier. In this case, however, it modifies "art

historians" instead of the logically appropriate "Impressionism."

Second, the verb "had evolved" is in the past perfect tense when it

should be in the simple past, since it is paired with "have

suggested", which is in present perfect.

Choice A is the same as the original sentence. Incorrect.

Choice B does not remedy the modifier issue, though it does fix the

tense problem. Incorrect.

Choice C remedies the modifier issue, though it does not fix the

tense problem. Incorrect.

Choice D remedies the modifier issue and the tense problem.

Correct.

Choice E remedies the modifier issue, but creates an awkward

passive construction. Incorrect.
