I agree with @stormier. D should be 'shortcomings that show in his writings...'. E is correct in all respects. All the elements are in parallel and clear pronoun-antecedent.stormier wrote:yellowho wrote:For this problem, isn't E, the suggested answer, wrong? (I don't like any of the answers).

Balzac is used in the sentence. Reread choice E.
Option D - should have been that show and not shows; use of his without a proper antecedent
