I was confused between B and E. Chose E but don't know the reason why B is wrong.

choice b exhibits poor parallelism:
having an eccentric personality, a participial phrase, is placed in parallel with skilful wax renderings..., a noun phrase.

choice e exhibits proper parallelism, in that both of the parallel items are noun phrases (the principal nouns being personality and renderings).

oh, and by the way, it's tussaud (not 'tuscan').

What are errors in choices "A", "C" and "D". Thanks

choice a: bad parallelism
because of... is not parallel to for...

choice c: extremely bad parallelism
- one part is a phrase (because of ...), and the other part is a complete clause (she was for her ...)
- same issue as choice a, because vs. for

choice d: bad parallelism
- you can't get rid of the 'for' in the second part (it should be '...as for having...')
- wordy (compare with the compact wording in choice e)
