i choose C

首先，
d,e 中 having been born 和 being born 是典型的罗嗦

B 如果正确，那么它的意思就是，这个author 先成为公民再生了出来

A 时态错误， since 一定要用现在完成式，being 是现在进行式了

只有C是符合逻辑关系和语法要求的

agree C

别的念来念去都是别扭、罗嗦。

Why "(she has) lived in England and Canada, and first came to the United States in 1961 to study... is correct?  That is the only thing that confused me.

你是认为时态不对吗？那么你是根据意思来选时态，还是先确定了时态而不管意思呢？建议你在读一遍，看在这种时态下是什么意思先。
