(B) As
(C) In that they seemed
(D) Since it seemed ( It cannot refer to Hosea Hudson , so it definely refers to communist party. Also 'to be ' is not needed as in E)

Q1: IMO D
Q2: IMO E (intent of the sentence is to show the reason for shareholders' action. D shows the contrast and therefore does not make sense)

I want to understand the following sentence construction:
a) Since it seemed the only orgainisation fighting for the rights of poor people in the south, Hosea Hudson...
b) Because it seemed to be one of the few corporations diversified enough to survive the recession, many shareholders...

Why do we require infinitive (ie TO BE) after seemed in b but not in a. Can we discuss!
