C. Researchers have discovered many famous quotations that were previously credited to Anonymous, they were in fact written by female authors.

D. Researchers have discovered that many famous quotations previously credited to Anonymous were in fact written by female authors.

E. The discovery of many famous quotations previously credited to Anonymous but in fact written by female authors were made by researchers.


正确答案:D

解析:

Choice (D) is correct. It avoids the comma splice error of the original by combining the two independent clauses that were improperly joined by only a comma (There are many famous quotations previously credited to ‘Anonymous’ and researchers have discovered that they were in fact written by female authors) into one sentence consisting of a main clause (Researchers have discovered) and a dependent clause (that many famous quotations previously credited to ‘Anonymous’ were in fact written by female authors).
