This question was re-posted on February 7, 2019. The original question contained a typographical error that has been corrected.
Of the three Bronte sisters, people are usually more familiar with Charlotte who wrote Jane Eyre, a popular required reading novel in the high school repertoireMeaning of the original sentence:1. There are three Bronte sisters
2. Charlotte is one of the Bronte sisters
3. People are usually most familiar with Charlotte
4. Charlotte wrote Jane Eyre
5. Jane Eyre is a popular required reading novel in the high school repertoire
Errors of the original sentence:We use
"more" and any other comparative form to compare =2 entities.
We use
"most" and any other superlative form to compare >2 entities.
So we have 3 sisters, "more" is wrong in this sentence, we need "most".
Opening pp modifier "Of the three Bronte sisters" has to be followed after comma by the name of one of the Bronte sisters, so eliminate (A) and (B)
POE(A)

more familiar to people
, writing Jane Eyre, a popular required reading novel in the high school repertoire
('more' should be 'most', comma + v-ing, 'writing' modifies preceding clause, implying Charlotte is the most familiar to people because she is writing Jane Eyre, moreover "writing" seems like general habit of Charlotte, it is not, she wrote it once in the past)(E) Charlotte is usually most familiar to people for writing Jane Eyre, a popular required reading novel in the high school repertoireAttachment:
