Composers

Joachim Raft 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

(8) 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

OA C

A- incorrect, you need a conjunction that will contrast the second clause with the first

B- same as A

C- Correct

D- false parallelism

E- same as A

(A) often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again - often what goes into decline ? ELIMINATE

(8) whose reputation declines after death and never regains its status again - this actually doesnt make sense. living,whose reputation ??? how cna tht be ? there is a conjugation missing. ELIMINATE

(C) but whose reputation declines after death and never regains its former status - Correct Conjunction used to contrast two sides.

(D) who declines in reputation after death and who never regained popularity again - who declines? these guys ? their reputation ? living ? ELIMINATE

(E) then has declined in reputation after death and never regained popularity - wrong conjunction used. ELIMINATE
