    Your answer would be C.

    Explanation:

    The revision that best corrects the error in the sentence is sentence C. Sentence C is the best construction by putting together the information in a participle phrase and using raced as the main verb in the sentence.

    A participle phrase begins with a present or past participle. In this case, it starts with the past participle armed with their bats, balls, and mitts. Since all phrases require two or more words, a participle phrase will often include objects and/or modifiers that complete the thought (the PP with their bats, balls, and mitts). What is more, they always function as adjectives, adding description to the sentence. In this case, the past participle modifies the NP the team.
