Apartments cant tower 100 feet over brownstne, it has to be towers towering brownstone units. moreover, we should use accentuates.

a) By choosing glass apartments towering a hundred feet over brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuated

b) By choosing glass apartments towering a hundred feet over brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seeming younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuates - same as above + adverb error

c) In choosing glass apartments in hundred-foot towers instead of brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuates

d) In choosing glass apartments in hundred-foot towers instead of brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuated

e) In choosing glass apartments towering a hundred feet over brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seeming younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic, accentuating

IMO C.

Eliminate B D - seemingly (adv) is changed to seeming (adj). seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals is a noun phrase.
In choosing X instead of Y,Z have embraced ... that accentuates...
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

If in A, accentuates were there instead of accentuated, how would one decide between "by" and "in".

Please help.

Thanks.
