J. S. Bach’s The Musical Offering, long considered one of his minor works, but nevertheless a masterful composition, consisting of a series of canons, fugues, and other pieces based on the same musical theme.

(A) but nevertheless
(B) would instead be considered
(C) but rather
(D) and is nevertheless
(E) is nevertheless




This is a SC Butler Question



OFFICIAL EXPLANATION



The correct answer is (E).

The original version is not a complete sentence. Choice (E) corrects the problem by replacing but with is. Choice (B) also fixes the problem, but its use of the subjunctive mood (would instead) makes no sense in context.
