Respuesta :

Option (D) is the correct answer.

After arranging the gems on the counter, the sales assistant.

As by condensing the first complete idea into a phrase, Option D avoids the flaw in the original.

While,

There is poor coordination in Option (A).  And, there is only one comma separating the complete thoughts "he stone" and "the sales counter".

With Option (B), a fragment is produced. The sentence contains no main verb as well.

A sentence that results from Option (C) is illogical. Gems "proceeded to tell us" something, which is illogical.

The pronoun used in Option (E) is incorrect. It is unnecessary to use the pronoun "he."
