broadlyThere is a subtle difference between 'Broad categories' and 'categories broadly'.
'Two Broad categories' means '2 major categories'
'two categories broadly' means 'Generally two categories'
C) The suggestions and lists that have been proliferated with adult readers in mind have so far tended to fall into two broad categories broadly
broad categories
broadly is redundant
D) The suggestions and lists that have been proliferated with adult readers in mind so far tended to fall into two broad categories
Main verb for 'Suggestions and Lists' is missing.
E) The suggestions and lists that have been proliferated with adult readers in mind have so far been tended to fall into two broad categories
'Have been' is used for 'Present perfect continuous Tense'. This would mean that if something started in past and continue to go on then we can use has/have been+ing. Now, in this sentence
1) There is no sense that the action (proliferated and tended) is still going on.
2) have been + 'verb+ed' is making this sentence passive.
So, amongst A and E (Active>Passive)
