Hi Friends,
I am having problems with the following SC question. Please help.

Hans Christian Andersen wrote fairy tales, which have been some of the most frequently translated works in literary history, while he wrote plays, novels, poems, and travel books, as well as several autobiographies,which remained almost unknown outside his native Denmark.

(A) Hans Christian Andersen wrote fairy tales, which have been some of the most frequently translated works in literary history, while he wrote plays, novels, poems, and travel books, as well as several autobiographies,which remained

(B) Hans Christian Andersen wrote fairy tales, which, while among the most frequently translated works in literary history, his plays, novels, poems, and travel books, as well as several autobiographies remain

(C) Even as Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales have been among the most frequently translated works in literary history, still his plays, novels, poems, and travel books, as well as several autobiographies, remain

(D) Unlike the fairy tales written by Hans Christian Andersen, which are some of the most frequently translated works in literary history, he wrote plays, novels, poems, and travel books, as well as several autobiographies,which remained

(E) Although Hans Christian Andersen wrote fairy tales that are among the most frequently translated works in literary history, his plays, novels, poems, and travel books, as well as several autobiographies, remain

OA after some discussion.

(C) Even as Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales have been among the most frequently translated works in literary history, still his plays, novels, poems, and travel books, as well as several autobiographies, remain -->not concise!

(E) Although Hans Christian Andersen wrote fairy tales that are among the most frequently translated works in literary history, his plays, novels, poems, and travel books, as well as several autobiographies, remain

Orginal Sentence is wrong because in the "which remained almost unknown" cannot refer to entire sentence but rather to biographies...
B) placement of which and while clause is wrong...
C) Even as structure is changing the meaning of the sentence....
D) Unlike is wrong because comparision is wrongly done b/w fairy tales and he...
E) Correct as it uses correct Contra and also placement of words

OA is E

Hi tpr-becky,

I confused between A and E.
Question: Can "while" be used for showing "change in idea" as what the meaning of the sentence says?

Can you pls elaborate on "Even as"?
