Solution

The correct option is E Believed in rebellion against social conventions, the expression of strong emotions
The error in this sentence is a lack of a parallel structure- the three things listed in the sentence should be phrased in a similar manner in order to confirm to a parallel structure. Here, 'believers in rebellion...' and 'express strong emotions' are not parallel.It should be 'rebellion', 'expression' and 'power'. Option E does this and therefore is the correct answer.
