OA
IMO, the answer should be A.
B and D are out as they mention "in English" instead of "from English"
Out of A, D, E: D & E sound awkward, hence A is the final answer!
@gmatbull: OA please?
Hi narulajasneet
OA is C, you can go back to several posts, and see gmatbull's post which is "the OA is" ==> click
quote at the right corner ==> see OA is C.
Anyway, I would like to elaborate this question a bit.
Among Anbara Salam al-Khalidi’s publications are Arabic translations of the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Aeneid from English and are still read in schools and universities.A. of the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Aeneid from English and are
Wrong. The structure of A is: Among X's publications
are translations of A, B, and C
and are still read....." ==> "and" is parallel marker ==> thus
"and are still read" and "
are translation" are parallel ==> so "are still read" may refer to "among X's publications" ==> That is not correct. The intended meaning is
"translations of the Odyssey, and the Aeneid" are still read in school.
B. of the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Aeneid in English—are
Wrong. The usage of "—are" is quite ambiguous. Because we don't know it refers to "other publications" or just "translation of the Odyssey, and the Aeneid".
In addition, "and the Aeneid in English" may imply only the Aeneid was translated from English.
C. from English of the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Aeneid—translations that are
Correct. "
—translation are" clearly refers to "translations of the Odyssey, and the Aeneid"
D. of the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Aeneid in English, whose translations
Wrong. "whose" is incorrect.
E. from English, of the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Aeneid, are
Wrong. Same as B. "are" is not clear. Because we don't know it refers to "publications" or just "translations of the Odyssey, and the Aeneid"
Hope it helps.
