Turning away from literary realism to write romantic stories about the peasant life
and landscape of northern Sweden, in 1909 Selma Lagerlöf was the novelist who
became the first woman and was also the first Swedish writerto win
the Nobel Prize
for Literature.
A. Turning away from literary realism to write romantic stories about the peasant life
and landscape of northern Sweden, in 1909 Selma Lagerlöf was the novelist who
became the first woman and was also the first Swedish writer to win
B. She turned away from literary realism and wrote romantic stories about the peasant
life and landscape of northern Sweden, and novelist Selma Lagerlöf in 1909 became
the first woman as well as the first Swedish writer that won
C. Selma Lagerlöf was a novelist who turned away from literary realism to write
romantic stories about the peasant life and landscape of northern Sweden, and in 1909
she became the first woman in addition to the first Swedish writer winning
D. A novelist who turned away from literary realism to write romantic stories about the
peasant life and landscape of northern Sweden, Selma Lagerlöf became in 1909 the
first woman and also the first Swedish writer to win
E. As a novelist, Selma Lagerlöf turned away from literary realism and wrote romantic
stories about the peasant life and landscape of northern Sweden, in 1909 becoming
the first woman and also the first Swedish writer that won

My thought Process to get the answer was:
1)This question is based on Modifier and parallel construction.
2)Option A can not be correct because Selma Lagerlof should come immediately after comma.
3)The same reason as above A
4)Before AND and after AND is not parallel, C is oncorrect.
5)Option E is not parallel.
6)Option D is correct as it has placed modifier just after the comma and its parallel.

Please suggest me if my thought process is correct.

Hi Deepak,

I also followed the same thought process and located "D" as the best suitable option.
I applied the Noun Modifier rule... and then parallelism X and also Y....

Hey - I am literally just getting started with my Prep. So this may be a silly question but can you tell me where are you guys reading about these 'Modifiers' and 'Parallel construction' principles from ?

Is this explained it in the official guide or you guys preparing from some other sources ? Thanks,
