SC:In 1945, after a career as First Lady in which she shatte

[marsischen]

In 1945, after a career as First Lady in which she shattered expectations more audaciously than either Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison ever had been, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman.
(A) more audaciously than either Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison ever had been, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman
(B) more audaciously than either Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison, President Harry S Truman had Eleanor Roosevelt appointed to be a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly
(C) with an audacity never matched in the case of Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison, President Harry S Truman had Eleanor Roosevelt appointed as a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly
(D) with an audacity never matched by Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman
(E) with an audacity never matched either in the case of Abigail Adams or of Dolly Madison's, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed to be a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman

Could any one explain how to solve this problem? I just don't have a clue...

Thanks in advance

First of all
after a career as First Lady in which she shattered expectations....is a noun modifier and must be followed by Eleanor Roosevelt..
Therefore we can remove B,C and are left with A,D and E
A is not parallel in comparison since "in which she shattered expectations " is not parallel to "Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison ever had been"..

In D and E was appointed must be followed by a noun and "was appointed to be" is not right..Hence D seems to be appropriate
