I choose B. My reasoning was based on the argument for the "which " in the OG sentence below.

There is only one other acceptable time when the word "which" did not modify the word next to it (ofcouse separated by a comma). Here is the example..

Emily Dickinson's letters to Susan Huntington Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan's marriage to Emily's brother and ending shortly before Emily's death in 1886, outnumber her letters to anyone else.

Experts, please agree with us.

Edited to include the following comments- IMO E is redundant in that "later" and "then" would provide the same chronology.

IMO, the only possible answers were 'B' and 'E', based on the usage of the antecedent, "she", and the placement of "Barbara Jordan", to which "she" refers. I thought that "Barbara Jordan" would necessarily appear immediately after the comma that follows "House of Representatives". I might have been proceeding from a false assumption but, if not, 'B' is superior to 'E' because "hearings" (plural) requires "were", not "was".
