I think the answer to 957 should (B) as under this option it is suggested that the cartographers possess "a flat sheet of paper", not "the spherical Earth".
Then, option B rolls off the tongue much more easily than option E.
And, to add, your posts are phenomenal! I love them and they are proving to be an immense help in my GMAT prep.
Thanks for taking the time, Prachi!
