C、mansion, that the mansion contained thirteen rooms, and said that it had a reputation for being haunted
D、mansion, said that it contained thirteen rooms and had a reputation for being a haunted house
E、mansion and said that the mansion contained thirteen rooms and had the reputation of being haunted
答案E
解析 The given sentence consists of three disjointed pieces; the second and third each begin with that. The verb recounted appropriately takes history as its object. Note that the two that-clauses that also appear, inappropriately, to be objects of the verb recount. Furthermore, the noun history and these that-clauses are not parallel.
Note that these that-clauses work better as objects of the verb said rather than the verb recount. The correct answer option will need to better integrate the two that-clauses into the sentence as a whole. A common way in which different thoughts are made into one sentence is by use of and. Choice E succeeds in creating an integrated sentence using and to combine three different thoughts.
A    In this choice, the two that-clauses inappropriately appear to be objects of the verb recount.
B    In this choice, the two that-clauses inappropriately appear to be objects of the verb recount.
C    In this choice, the first that-clause inappropriately appears to be the object of the verb recount.
D    In this choice, the referent of the pronoun it is unclear. Furthermore, had a reputation for being a haunted house is wordy and would be better phrased had the reputation of being haunted as in choice E.
E    Correct. This choice correctly uses the that-clause as the object of the verb said and uses the appropriate, less-wordy predicate had the reputation of being haunted.
The correct answer is E.
