While is a trigger word, so you know that the second clause will contrast with the first. The first clause states that the author does identify Victorian culture, so the second clause will be about a failure to identify something. Thus, choices (A) and (E) can be eliminated, since they suggest successfully communicating something. Corroborates, choice (B), means validates a story; eliminate choice (B). Placates means appeases, so choice (D) doesn’t make sense here. Neglects and omits both suggest a failure; choices (C) and (F) are correct.
