Glass apartments

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 their luxury-laden lives.

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

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

In A why can I consider "towering a hundred feet over brownstone units designed for earlier generations" as a adjective phrase describing Glass apartments. Is this wrong?

No, but the error in A is elsewhere.

A - ...professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuated their luxury-laden lives. - See the verb error here?

This is corrected in C

C - ...professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuates their luxury-laden lives.

B has also corrected the verb form error but erroneously uses adjective seeming instead of adverb seemingly.

There are various 3/2 splits

1. By choosing vs In choosing
2. Seemingly vs seeming
3. accentuated vs accentuates

Which one to go with? See that sentence is in present perfect tense so you need 'accentuates' and not 'accentuated'

Eliminate A, D and E.

Now between Seemingly and seeming you need 'Seemingly' and not 'seeming' because seemingly is adverb modifying adjective. Eliminate B.

Answer is C
