    B Only ii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only iii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both ii & iii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The second boldened phrase "who entered" has been used correctly, but the first boldened phrase "would entered" contains an error. The modal verb "would" should be followed by the base form of the verb "enter," not the past tense "entered." Hence, it should be "would enter." Therefore,Only (iii) is the correct answer.
