Fresh Verbal Question From GMAT Club Tests'. Written by sayantanc2k
GMAT CLUB TESTS' OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:
A. This option implies that Caligula was tainted and was never revived - this construction does not make sense. It is meant that Caligula’s fame (and not Caligula himself) was tainted and never revived. The word “again” is redundant.
B. Grammatically wrong - two independent clauses, 1. “Caligula was praised…” and 2. “ his fame was tainted… and never revived” are separated by a comma; a conjunction is required to join two independent clauses.
C. CORRECT. Meaning is correctly conveyed - It was caligula’s fame ( not caligula) that was tainted and never revived. Moreover two independent clauses are correctly joined by the conjunction “but”.
D. The relative pronoun “whose” introduces the dependent clause “whose fame was tainted…”, which is joined to the independent clause “Caligula was praised” by the conjunction “but”. A dependent clause and an independent clause are separated by a comma, not a conjunction.
E. This option implies that Caligula was tainted and was never revived - this construction does not make sense. It is meant that Caligula’s fame (and not Caligula himself) was tainted and never revived.

I believe (C) should be the answer.
(A) revived again is redundant and there is a missing comma before and (which begins the last element of the list)
(B) Comma splice. Fanboys must be used to seperate two independent clauses ending at activities and starting at his fame respectively.
(C) Perfect!!
(D) "whose" seems weird in its usage in this context.
(E) The ending of the sentence seems to illogically convey that we failed to revive the Roman emperor Caligula himself and not his fame. Human revival is still biologically infeasible.
