ashkrs · Answer

C and D compares the other authors with Cane ( which is a book)

E maintains the comparision .

rgajare14 · Answer

I will go with E.

Here the main subject is the author's novel and not the author itself. So it will be incorrect to say (like in C) "-including Richard Wright..." since the novel cannot include the author. Also I find the usage including doubtful after the hyphen. 

E is best and maintains parallelism..Whats the OA ?
