Dear Friends,
Here is a detailed explanation to this question-
Meaning is crucial to solving this problem:
Understanding the intended meaning is key to solving this question; the intended meaning of this sentence is that dance fans knew Tamara Geva as a soloist in several Ballanchine works, as the dancer who introduced his choreography to the United States, and as a star in Broadway theater.
Concepts tested here: Parallelism + Pronouns + Modifiers + Grammatical Construction
• All elements in a list must be parallel.
• The pronoun “which” cannot be used to refer to human beings.
• “who/whose/whom/which/where”, when preceded by a comma, refer to the noun just before the comma.
• “who” can only be used to refer to a human being.
A: Trap. This answer choice fails to maintain parallelism among “as a soloist in several Ballanchine works”, “a dancer who introduced…United States”, and “as a star in Broadway theater”; please remember all elements in a list must be parallel.
B: Trap. This answer choice incorrectly uses the pronoun “which” to refer to “dancer”; please remember, “which” cannot be used to refer to human beings.
C: This answer choice fails to maintain parallelism among “as a soloist in several Ballanchine works”, “the dancer to introduce…United States”, and “as a star in Broadway theater”; please remember all elements in a list must be parallel.
D: This answer choice incorrectly modifies “several Ballanchine works” with “who introduced his choreography to the United States”, illogically implying that several Ballanchine works introduced his choreography to the United States; the intended meaning is that Tamara Geva introduced his choreography to the United States; please remember, who/whose/whom/which/where when preceded by a comma, refer to the noun just before the comma. Further, Option D incorrectly refers to "works" with "who"; please remember, "who" can only be used to refer to human beings.
E: Correct. This answer choice maintains parallelism among "as a soloist in several Ballanchine works", "as the dancer who introduced..the United States", and "as a star in Broadway theater". Further, Option E correctly modifies “Tamara Geva” with “as the dancer who introduced…United States”, conveying the intended meaning- that Tamara Geva introduced his choreography to the United States. Additionally, Option E correctly refers to the noun “dancer” - a human being - with the pronoun “who”.
Hence, E is the best answer choice.

There are 3 items parallel to each other, two are in non-underlined portion and one in the underlined portion..
The non-underlined portion should tell us the structure of the parallel items..
Dance fans knew Tamara Geva as a soloist in several Ballanchine works, a dancer who introduced his choreography to the United States, and as a star in Broadway theater.
So parallelism requires - as xyz..
So, it can be B or E
(B) as a dancer which introduced
WHICH cannot be used for human beings. WHO is correct relative pronoun to refer to a person.
(E) as the dancer who introduced
CORRECT as it is..
E
