Q38:
Drawing on her roots in a society that has a strong tradition of story-telling and oral renditions of the past, Indian writer Suniti Namjoshi incorporates many types of literature into her writing: including historical texts, legends, and even nursery rhymes from both Indian as well as European sources.

A.writing: including historical texts, legends, and even nursery rhymes from both Indian as well as
B.writing: historical texts, legends, and even nursery rhymes from both Indian and
C.writing: these include historical texts, legends, and even nursery rhymes from both Indian and
D.writing, which includes historical texts, legends, and even nursery rhymes both from Indian as well as
E.writing that includes historical texts, legends, and even nursery rhymes both from Indian and

OG:B

Can you explain why [spoiler]"B"[/spoiler] is the right answer?
not [spoiler]"C"[/spoiler] is not?
It seems that "the part after :" should refer to "many types of literatures"
and it is the only one pl. noun.
Isn't it unclear to just write down some examples?
what if these examples refer to "writing" instead of "many types of literatures"?

As I'm not native, S/C is the hardest part for me.
Please help me guys.

Well i am no SC guru ...but heres what i think

When we use a colon ":" the part after that will enlist the items being talked about ..

So in C we use colon and then again say tese include which is redundant

Hence B

You cannot have "both" and "as well as". So, A and D are out

In C, the clause after the ":" cannot begin with these

In E, "includes" is incorrect

In this question the "incorporates" and "including" means the same hence a,c,d,e are having the redundancy problem hence B is the answer

Also the correct idiom is both X and Y

C is not the correct answer, B is. And sujay is right -- a colon preceding a list means " like as follows" or "these include" , therefore there is no need to write the actual words, and it is redundant.
