In view of above statement, how can we pick E as answer.
Kindly explain
Let's take a look at (E).
(E) ignores the possibility that the majority of people who recognize many of Clara Schumann's works are not classical pianists.We see that (E) is about "people who recognize many of Clara Schumann's works."
On the other hand, the part of the passage you cited is about "people who are not classical pianists."
So, (E) and the portion of the passage you cited are actually two different groups of people with some crossover.
If you think about it, even if most "people who are not classical pianists" do not recognize her works, it could still be that most "people who recognize many of Clara Schumann's works" are not classical pianists.
For example, there could be a 100 people, of whom 5 are classical pianists.
Among those, all 5 classical pianists recognize her works along with 10 other people who do.
So, only 10/95 "people who are not classical pianists recognize her works, but 10/15 "people who recognize many of Clara Schumann's works" are not classical pianists.
Thus, it's the case both that "The vast majority of
people who are not classical pianists do not (recognize her)" and that "the majority of
people who recognize many of Clara Schumann's works are not classical pianists.
