<ol>
<li>Because the American Indian rodeo includes games and exhibitions developed (A. as early as) the seventeenth century, (B. they predate) (C. by) a few hundred years (D. the form) of rodeo now seen on television. (E. No error)</li>
</ol>

<p>I get why B is wrong, cuz it has to be (it predates), right?
But what confuses me is choice A- shouldn't it be (as early as in) because for a time period u need a (in)?</p>

<p>Or am i just wrong?</p>

<p>Yes, you are just wrong. :slight_smile: No “in” needed!</p>

<p>A. Is perfectly correct. “In” would be completely unnecessary and incorrect.
B. “They” is incorrect as you said. Subject is American Indian rodeo (singular), so replace “they” with “it”.</p>
