(A) Seeming to be
Not sure about this one
(B) As
Changes the description of union.
(C) In that they seemed
Union is singular, to "they" is incorrect
(D) Since it seemed
(E) Because it seemed to be
I think I remember an old English teaching telling me that a sentence never starts with 'Because'
I picked D, although I was not able to find a reason to eliminate A.

I don't know what to say, really. Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives. You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game - life or football - the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite catch it. I'll tell you this, in any fight it's the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch. That's football guys, that's all it is. Now, what are you gonna do?

(A) Seeming to be
modifies Hosea Hudson as the organisation
(B) As
Changes the description of union.
(C) In that they seemed
Union is singular, to "they" is incorrect , wordy
(D) Since it seemed -not good to use for past tense
(E) Because it seemed to be - correct answer
Sentences do start with "because" in GMAT

Mankey - What is the source of this question? Even if E is the correct answer - the whole sentence looks awkward to me.mankey wrote:Seeming to be the only organization fighting for the rights of poor people in the South, Hosea Hudson, a laborer in Alabama, joined the Communist party in 1931.

the only organization fighting for the rights of poor people in the South -- after the comma we need the name of the organization, don't we?
Hosea Hudson - is a name of a person.
Don't you think the usage "Because it seemed to be" is awkward ? what is 'it' referring to?
