AB: it is not clear what the modifying phrase depending on mass is supposed to modify. Because of its placement, it appears to modify red giant stage; it should, however, modify star.
CE:the star itself passes through the red giant stage, not its mass.
The sentence tells us that an excavation yielded fragments of human figures as well as 7 intact statues.
meaning issue: we don't have a "possible workshop." We have a place that may (possibly) have been a workshop. in C, possible only modifies workshop; whereas the idea the author is trying to convey is possible "workshop where statues were reproduced"
hopefully：This once-useful adverb meaning "with hope" has been distorted and is now widely used to mean "I hope" or "it is to be hoped." Such use is not merely wrong, it is silly. To say, "Hopefully, I'll leave on the noon plane" is to talk nonsense. Do you mean you'll leave on the noon plane in a hopeful frame of mind? Or do you mean you hope you'll leave on the noon plane? Whichever you mean, you haven't said it clearly.
