A Though most people take it for granted now, the nationwide admission of students to colleges and universities based on academic merit
B Though it is now taken for granted by most people, the admission of nationwide students to colleges and universities based on academic merit
C Now taken for granted by most people, colleges and universities admitting students based on their academic merit
D Most take them for granted now, but the admission of nationwide students to colleges and universities based on their academic merit
E Most people now take for granted that colleges and universities admit students nationally based on academic merit, and it

the correct answer is A, but I chose B.
