11、"share" and "same" are redundant. It shoud be sb share ethnic heritage with sb.

22、
(c) the reason for...is not because , they are stronger
(e) the reason why .....is that , not because
Run On sentence! There is no conj between two clause. At the same time, the reason for or the reason why is unidiomatic

9. Between can not be used in comparison more than two elements. So, A,B out. deftly balanced modifies it is wordy, so does E a deft balance is what one needs among.

21. a return to [communal ownership of land], to [what had been a pre-columbian form...], it is appositive.

23. C is right? I think , A may mean "believed to be" modify "feet".

16. E? In B, as shoud be followed a sentence not a noun. At the same time, what is "for" means? which one is the referent of "that"?

S21-16. "than ever before" is a flag of present perfect.

S21-17. A. Nightmares to many people when they did it! Including me. Firstly, as ... as is a clue, so D and E are out. Then you shoud notice the sentence structure is "sb came as close to being BLABLABLA as sb ???", so the focus of comparison is "came", not been or done. Wish you make sense of it.

Look at this:
Bob wilber came as close to being a carbon copy of the jazz virtuoso in performance as anyone has ever come [to being a carbon copy of the jazz virtuoso in performance ].
And this:
Bob wilber came as close to being a carbon copy of the jazz virtuoso in performance as anyone ever had done [to being a carbon copy of the jazz virtuoso in performance ].

In my opinion, "came close to being a carbon copy of the jazz virtuoso in performance " is an integrate part of sentence, so it is not clear, if you use "done" to refer to the whole phrase.
