Joachim Raff and Giacomo Meyerbeer are examples of the kind of composer who receives popular acclaim while living,
often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again.
(A) often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again
(B) whose reputation declines after death and never regains its status again
(C) but whose reputation declines after death and never regains its former status
(D) who declines in reputation after death and who never regained popularity again
(E) then has declined in reputation after death and never regained popularity
Some thoughts:
1. Regain Vs Again:
=> Regain and again should not be used in the same sentence because regain means gain again.
=> A, B, and D are out for using "regain" and "again".
2. Two clauses can be joined by the following ways:
(
a) COMMA + FANBOYS
=> I was reading, and my brother was eating.
(b) IC + Semicolon (;) + IC
=> I was reading; my brother was eating.
(c) IC+ Semicolon (;) + Conjunctive Adverb + COMMA + IC
=> I was reading; however, my brother was eating.
(d) IC + Period (.) + IC. (Capital letter in the beginning of the second clause)
=> I was reading. My brother was eating.
List of commonly used conjunctive adverb:
accordingly, furthermore, moreover, similarly,
also, hence, namely, still,
anyway, however, nevertheless, then,
besides, incidentally, next, thereafter,
certainly, indeed, nonetheless, therefore,
consequently,instead, now, thus,
finally, likewise, otherwise, undoubtedly,
further, meanwhile.
In the option E,
"COMMA + THEN" is not an acceptable form. It makes run on sentence. So, E is out.
Answer is C.
