What is sentence correction?

Sentence correction or sentence improvement is a type of grammatical practice where a sentence is given with a word or a phrase that requires grammatical changes or improvement.

Now,  

  • "It would rattle" (wrong tense pattern) is an incorrect construct and changes the meaning of the statement when used in the context of the sentence.
  • This part of the sentence, causing a fault is corrected only by Option E; the sentence correction would be: "and rattling furniture..".

Hence, Option E is the most appropriate, i.e., The furnace exploded, blowing off the door, spraying greasy soot all over the basement floor, and it would rattle furniture and windowpanes throughout the building (Option E).
