Sentence correction - tricky problems

QUESTION
According to medieval monks, the remains of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere were found at Glastonbury Abbey in AD 1191, and Arthur's coffin marked with the inscription (in Latin): "Here Lies Arthur, The Once and Future King."

(A) and Arthur's coffin marked with the inscription
(B) Arthur's coffin marked with the inscription
(C) and the inscription was marked on Arthur's coffin
(D) the inscription that was marked on the coffin of Arthur
(E) the coffin of Arthur had the inscription marked

Solution:
(A) is wrong. To be correct here, the passive voice would have to be used, i.e., “was marked”.
(B) is correct. The phrase acts a modifier.
(C ) is wrong. The word order is clumsy.
(D) is wrong because there is no verb in what should be a verbal phrase.
(D) is wrong. The usage is clumsy.


OG 11th Ed Q136
Joachim Raff and Giacomo Meyerbeer are examples of the kind of composer who receives popular acclaim while living, often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again.

(A) often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again
(B) whose reputation declines after death and never regains its status again
(C) but whose reputation declines after death and never regains its former status
(D) who declines in reputation after death and who never regained popularity again
(E) then has declined in reputation after death and never regained popularity

Solution:
(A) is wrong. As written it suggests that the composer goes into decline after death, but that is nonsensical. It could only be reputation that goes into decline. “again” is redundant”.
(B) is wrong. The parallel structure is erroneous. The word “whose” is incorrectly placed.
(C) is correct.
(D) is wrong. Verb tenses are confused – “regained” should be “regains”. “again” is redundant”.
(E) is wrong. Verb tenses are confused – “regained” should be “regains”.
