Yep E is my pick

She ran epithets meaning she was treating them with contempt. She was frail. So we need to show that even though she was frail she did rain in epithets. Yet does that and E is the correct choice

Definitely E. "A" seems to say they are "treating her so frail", which not only makes no sense, but uses the adjective form of "frail" where the adverb would be needed.
