题目分析：
略。

选项分析：

A选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。to have recorded中的have表示先时性，不表示完成时，即，record这一事件发生在said这一事件之前。这里改为to record也没有问题。添加have只是突出先发生，并非必须添加。

B选项：首先，名词短语 for European exploration of North America in pre-Columbian times需改为同位语从句that Europeans explored North America in pre-Columbian times，这点考查了名词和从句的区别。显然地，“证据”是一个事实，并不仅仅在发生的时候才是evidence，在发生之后也依然是evidence，所以explore在本选项中是一个事实，没有时间终止点。
其次， thus being cited as evidence（伴随状语）需改为合句and thus was cited as evidence。这是因为，“被认为记录下了美国土著和挪威探险者”和“被声明为欧洲人探险的证据”分别在讨论the Kensington Rune Stone在两个方面的情况，两者没有明显的强弱之分，不应使用主从句关系，应该用合句来表示。

C选项：名词短语 for European exploration of North America in pre-Columbian times错误同(B)。另外， 本选项缺少谓语动词。said和cited是过去分词短语。

D选项：本选项没有谓语动词。

E选项：evidence的修饰语部分是介词短语for Europeans exploring  North America in pre-Columbian times的核心词为Europeans（exploring  North America in pre-Columbian times是现在分词短语，是Europeans的定语），这在逻辑上是不合理的。证据应该是一个事件，而不是“欧洲人”。
