C) had sent
D)'a' will not be there before sort
639
@bs0409 said:

C) had sent
D)'a' will not be there before sort
in D. I feel that the first 'A' should be small as it follows the part in option C and after 'a Shaliach' there should be a comma or a hyphen.
The correct version according to me would be " a Shaliach, a sort of recruiter to Minneapolis.
