I think the right answer is E.
A,C,D all have a common mistake: turned/turning away from literary realism to write romatic stories... Here, the from ... to ... reqires two parallel nouns. Whereas E changed the structure to turned away from ... and wrote ..., completes the parallel of two verbs, and is more close to the logical meaning. This parallel of two verbs also make the sentence more balanced. Although B also adopts this correct structure, the "She..., and novelist Selma" creates redundancy of the subjects. Thus, only E is the best answer. |
