136. Joachim Raff and Giacomo Meyerbeer are examples of the kind of composer who receives popular acclaim while living, often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again.

(A) often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again

(B) whose reputation declines after death and never regains its status again

(C) but whose reputation declines after death and never regains its former status

(D) who declines in reputation after death and who never regained popularity again

(E) then has declined in reputation after death and never regained popularity

做的时候并没有多考虑，看到and的第一反应就是并列关系，所以把几个whose选项首先排除了，最后挑了A。看了OG答案的解释之后，的确感觉逻辑正确在题目中的重要性，但是仍然有一些疑惑。

正确答案的C中有一个but,根据GMAT强调的对称性，比较的双方应该形式和内容上都要对称，这道题中显然是不符合的。那么不知道GMAT的主张中逻辑的重要性是否高于语法形式上的对称，在其他题目中是否也是如此体现的。希望大家不吝赐教，告诉我一些解这类题目的思路，以及做题优先顺序上的原则。谢谢大家

correctiveness优于effectiveness. 先保证无错再选择一个最优表达.

A中regain和again重复

回头再看果然漏洞百出

受教了，多谢。
