Choice (C) is correct. It avoids the error of the original by using the idiomatic “known as” instead of the awkward and unidiomatic “known to be.”

6.The correct answer is D
Choice (D) is correct. It avoids the error of the original by eliminating the relative pronoun “where,” which does not logically refer to anything else in the sentence, and by reducing the needlessly wordy “she incorporated” to “incorporating.”

Choice (D) is correct. It avoids the pronoun error of the original by using an appropriate relative pronoun (“who”) to refer to people (“heroines”).
