imoE

the sentence is in past tense ..therefore "alleged"

the "critics" should be of artists and not of "artist's alleges",,

C does not hold the Subject verb agreement. Subject "Critics " is plural and the singular verb "alleges" is not appropriate here.

Yes Critics is Plural... Thus SV agreement...

E should be the answer

Critics plural - can't be 'alleges'

agree with Bidisha - 'allege' would be correct and perhaps the ideal choice here.

imo E
