Mark Twain was well aware of his celebrity. He was among the first authors to employ a clipping service to track press coverage of himself, and it was not unusual for him to issue his own press statements if he wanted to influence or "spin" coverage of a particular story. The celebrity Twain achieved during his last ten years still reverberates today. Nearly all of his most popular novels were published before 1890, long before his hair grayed or he began to wear his famous white suit in public. We appreciate the author but seem to remember the celebrity.
Based on the passage above, Mark Twain seemed interested in:
A.maintaining his celebrity
B.selling more of his books
C.hiding his private life
D.gaining popularity
E.writing the perfect novel

(A)
(A) - Maintaining his celebritiy: The author starts off with stating that Mark Twain was aware of his celebrity. The remainder of the passage goes on to describe means by which he continued maintaining his celebrity. Then, the best clue comes in the form of the thrid sentence: "The celebrity Twain achieved during his last ten years still reverberates today"
Also, the paragraph ends with "We appreciate the author but seem to remember the celebrity" - which clearly indicates that Mark Twain seemed interested in maintaining his celebrity.

"A" ....D comes close, but author already states that Twain was already popular with his novels prior to 1890.
