a)so diverse they inspired

b)so diverse as to inspire --- correct

c)as diverse as those which inspired

d)diverse enough so as to inspire --- Plus wrong usage of the idiom so X as to Y

e)as diverse as to inspire -- we are not making a comparison here. As divers as is wrong.


Hope this helps!

Howcome A is wrong?
they seems correct in this...I feel only issue is - so diverse that they inspired

Am I wrong here?
