Question

(A) A great many years ago, fisherman in Japan used birds to catch fish. (B) This art of fishing is said to be at least a thousand years old. (C) Today, however, fishing in this way has simply become a sport. (D) On summer nights, the fishing boats set out on rivers in various parts of the country. (E) This is simply because fishermen are not seriously interested in catching fish any longer. Which one disrupts the text? I think, D but I am not sure

Sentence A should have "fishermen," not "fisherman."

I don't see how E fits into the paragraph. What is simply because fishermen are not seriously interested in catching fish any longer?

D seems to explain how it this style of fishing is done as a sport. I think it fits in.

I think E tells why it has become a sport.

D could conceivably be a continuation from C, as a way of elaborating upon how this sport is played, but E is definitely out of place. E should occur after C.

So I would answer that E disrupts the text.
