Review: Theory of Psychoanalysis
Explanation
Creating a filter: the original sentence is defective.
There should be a comma before the words "and he applied," since there are two
independent clauses. There is also a problem of meaning; the fact that there
are two independent clauses conveys the two items as mostly independent facts,
which they are not; applying the idea was part of what Freud did to develop his
theory, not a separate act. So (A) is out.
Applying the filter: choices (B) and (C) create the same
distortion of meaning as (A). Choice (D) fixes the problem. Choice (E) is
nonsensical and so it's out. The correct answer is (D).
