The Scandinavian assault on Western Europe culminated in the early eleventh century with the Danish conquest of the English kingdom, which other Scandinavian kings attempted to repeat, unsuccessfully later in the same century.
which other Scandinavian kings attempted to repeat, unsuccessfully, later in the same century
which other Scandinavian kings attempted to repeat later that same century, but not successfully
an achievement that other Scandinavian kings attempted later in the century to repeat, but were not successful at it
an achievement attempted later in the century by other Scandinavian kings that was not successful
an achievement that other Scandinavian kings attempted to repeat later in the century, but without success
题目分析：
(A)(B)选项用了非限定性定语从句，which other Scandinavian kings attempted to repeat的先行词为the English kingdom，该先行词在非限定性定语从句内部充当repeat的宾语；(C)(D)(E)用了同位语，定语从句that other Scandinavian kings attempted later in the century to repeat的先行词为an achievement，也充当repeat的宾语。
选项分析：
A选项：能被重复的（repeat的宾语）只能是过去的成就，而不能是“英国”。
B选项：本选项错误同(A)。
C选项：代词it的指代对象只能是单数名词，不能指代句子。在逻辑上，were not successful at的对象应该是整个复制的行为，而不是某一个单数名词。
D选项：尝试复制和没有成功之间应该是转折关系（but）而不是解释说明关系（that）。（并且，that was not successful的主语也不正确）
E选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。but without success是一个省略句，还原为正常的句子为
other Scandinavian kings attempted to repeat later without success.
A/B，which指代conquest，丹麦对英格兰的征服这个历史事件是不能被其他国王repeat的，能repeat的是把这件事抽象化成一个achievement，repeat一个类似的成就。
C，an achievement that other Scandinavian kings were not successful at it . 这里的that只能只能引导定语从句，it多余；不能做an achievement的同位语解释说明achievement的内容，一是语意上“其他国外在这件事上不成功”并不是achievement的内容，而是它的一个属性，用定语从句，二是同位语里也不能出现it，不能自己同为自己。
E, kings attempted to repeat the achievement, but without success. but是连词，接介宾短语构成的状语，没有并列对象，属于an exceptional use。
