Solution:
Idioms + Logical
In A, “Alexander, who… made… and also believed…” (lacks main verb) fails to stand alone before the
semicolon.
In B and D, “for whom sculpture was…made” illogically suggests someone else made sculptures for
him.
In C, “made use for” is not idiomatic. It must be “made use of”.
In E, is the best choice. Though, use of “also” is awkward, still E is the best choice available.
