Ron：
choice a: bad parallelism
because of... is not parallel to for...
choice b exhibits poor parallelism:
having an eccentric personality is placed in parallel with skilful wax renderings....
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)
choice e exhibits proper parallelism, in that both of the parallel items are noun phrases (the principal nouns being personality and renderings).
