IMO D is correct here.

In simple words Waterman doesn't want to forget musicians. What will he do? He will try to avoid being forgotten and will not try to keep.

I am not an expert, but these are my thoughts.

keep from is better suited here than avoid.

Inspired from this question - https://www.manhattangmat.com/forums/arc ... 10133.html

B should be right. Whats the OA?

Don't agree with the link that you have provided to answer current question. I agree that answer for other SC question is B, but for current SC question I don't agree that 'keep' is good.

This question might be an idiom issue, because native speakers would not choose D over B.

"Keep X from Y" sounds a lot better than "Avoid X from being Y."

The latter is nonsensical, because how do you avoid something from becoming something? You are essentially a non-participating observer when you are avoiding something, so D is nonsensical.
Yep.

As uwhusky suggested, this may be a question of idiomatic usage.

1) I shot a picture of grandma to keep my memory of her from getting eroded.
2) I shot a picture of grandma to avoid my memory of her from getting eroded.

Sentence 2 just sounds horrible.

Yeh, guys, it's just an idiom.

"keep them from" should be used. I've never ever heard "avoid them from". At least not in US English, which is what we're being tested on.
