weird question..help!!

So dogged were Frances Perkins’ investigations of the garment industry, and her lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent, Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt recruited Perkins to work within the government, rather than as a social worker.

* and her lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent,
* and lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent, so that
* her lobbying for wage and hour reform persistent, that
* lobbying for wage and hour reform was so persistent,
* so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that

Hi rahul

This question is real tough
I used the POE and A does not seem to connect to the whole sentence
B does not have mention of who is doing this
C seems awkward
D again has no mention for who is doing it
E seems somewhat parallel and as such i am not able to point any errors in it

I might be wrong
Whats the OA?
The sweat of hard work is not to be displayed. It is much more graceful to appear favored by the gods

Thanks guys...OA is E, but have to admit that it is a tough question.
I was worried about possessive pronouns. Got it right now, and encountered one in wimbledon.org :)

You have to hope that Roger Federer’s opponents don’t decide that the perfect piece of pre-match preparation is a quick glance at his career statistics...sweet!!
