For the second question, the answer is C and it is shown in this sentence

Quote:
Despite general acknowledgment of his genius, there has been a noticeable reluctance to rank him with, say, Schumann or Brahms.


The other options are misleading

For the last one

E is correct because Schumann and Brahms are mentioned as a way of explaining how critics rank Mendelssohn — that is, as less accomplished than some other composers who are widely acknowledged as major.

The other options are tricky but we care about only how Mendelssohn had ranked.

Hope this helps
