Agatha Christie's travels with her archaeologist husband inspired her to write several mystery
novels; travelers to Egypt can still stay at the Old Cataract Hotel, the model for the hotel in
one of Christie's most famous books.
• Agatha Christie's travels with her archaeologist husband inspired her to write several mystery
novels
• Agatha Christie used her travels with her archaeologist husband to inspire several mystery
novels
• Because her husband was an archaeologist, Agatha Christie was able to use their travels as
inspiration for several of her mystery novels
• Together with her archaeologist husband, Agatha Christie was inspired to incorporate their
travel into several of her mystery novels
• Agatha Christie's travels with her archaeologist husband served as inspiration for several of her
mystery novels

Confusion between A and E can you guys please explain which is the better choice and "EXPLANATION" for it....Thanks....

IMO A

I saw in lot of questions where gmat prefers a verb(inspired) rather than a noun(inspiration for) in such cases where both seem to be correct.

what is OA?

Thanks

I did some search on this question in google and what I found is...
here in A "her" has no direct referent.
i.e.,In "Agatha Christie's travels", Agatha Christie's name is mentioned in possessive case so we cannot refer to her directly like "inspired her" but we can refer her in possessive sense like "her books".

Good stuff to learn from this question is...We shouldn't use pronouns to refer to nouns present indirectly in possessive case.
