OG12 137新问 关于动词时态一致，请大家进来看看！！感激不尽!（已解决）

avernus

Joachim Raff and Giacomo Meyerbeer are examples
of the kind of composer who receives popular acclaim
while living, often goes into decline after death, and
never regains popularity again.

(A) often goes into decline after death, and never
regains popularity again
(B) whose reputation declines after death and never
regains its status again
(C) but whose reputation declines after death and
never regains its former status
(D) who declines in reputation after death and who
never regained popularity again
(E) then has declined in reputation after death and
never regained popularity

答案 C
OG关于D的解释The verb tenses are inconsistent with present tense used in the first phrase;redundant again.
我觉得D如果把again去掉以后就是正确的。为什么要求D中的动词(declines, regained)与前面的动词（receives）一致呢？不同时态的动词也可以并列呀？


求各位大哥大姐帮帮忙，谢谢谢谢~~

C.   but whose reputation declines after death and never regains its former status


荣誉的地位么？？？不是应该是"人"的地位回不到从前了么?

IMO："it"确实是指“reputation”, i.e. "...regains the former status of reputation "。翻译过来不是“荣誉的地位”，而是“名声的状态”，即“以前的名声”。

its应该指代reputation吧，but后面的从句都是讲reputation怎么样的，如OG解释：
As written, with who as the subject of goes and regains, the last two descriptions illogically continue to refer to the kind of composer.Logically it must be the reputation that declines after the composers death.
