1.the river in San Antonio歧义指代前面的 a river 引起逻辑错误。
2.enhancing修饰歧义
3.因为A的前半部分句意不符合逻辑
4.still多余， have been时态错误，没有时间指向要用完成时

仔细体会一下句子重心，A，women是主语，B我们是宾语

说的很有道理，如果按句子重心体会，我觉得下面这两个选项还是C更好，其实句子强调那个hans的童话被多次翻译，而其他诗小说等无人知晓。E强调的是hans写童话，被多次翻译这个关键点做的才是定语。C用的have时态和still我觉得也ok的。

(C) Even as Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales have been among the most frequently translated works in literary history, still his plays, novels, poems, and travel books, as well as several autobiographies, remain

(E) Although Hans Christian Andersen wrote fairy tales that are among the most frequently translated works in literary history, his plays, novels, poems, and travel books, as well as several autobiographies, remain

even as,still语义上重复了完成时也没必要啊。
