KAPLAN OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
(E)
Step 1: Read the Original Sentence Carefully, Looking for Errors
The construction “both introspective explorations . . .” needs to be completed by and to be idiomatically correct, and the and must be followed by a noun that is parallel with “explorations.” Thus, “as well as” is incorrect, and so is “subverting.” Moreover, the two halves of the phrase “of cultural identity and feminine” should be in parallel form, but since “identity” is a noun and “feminine” is an adjective, this phrase is incorrect as written.
Step 2: Scan and Group the Answer Choices
There’s too much variation in the answer choices to group effectively, so consider them one by one.
Step 3: Eliminate Choices Until Only One Remains
Eliminate (A) for the errors identified in step 1. With “being feminine,” “that was feminine,” and “the femininity,” respectively, (B), (C), and (D) violate the parallelism of the “of cultural identity and . . .” phrase, so they can be eliminated. (B) and (D) also use “subverted,” which is not parallel with “explorations,” and (D) uses the unidiomatic “both . . . as well as.” (E) completes both parallel constructions properly, so it is the correct answer. Read it back into the sentence to confirm:
The self-portraits of Frida Kahlo can be considered both introspective explorations of a psyche that ranged free, unbounded by historical notions of cultural identity and femininity, and subversions of traditional European portraiture.
