Johannes Gutenberg is generally credited to bring together the two main concepts of modern printing: movable pieces of metal type that could be reused, and a printing press for producing sharp impressions on paper over and over.


A. to bring
B. as he brought
C. by bringing
D. with bringing
E. for the fact of bringing

chose D.

Correct!
Here's Why:
Choice (D) is correct. It avoids the unidiomatic phrasing of the original by linking an appropriate prepositional phrase, “with bringing,” to the verb “credited.”
