Hi Ajit,
The part of the sentence highlighted in red here acts as a modifier which is supposed to modify a noun. In GMAT it is always preferred to have a modifier and noun close together. Hence Barbara jordan is supposed to immediately follow the clause 'Although she had been known as an effective legislator first in the Texas Senate and later in the United States House of Representatives'. With this our choices will narrow down to B and E. E is wrong due to subject verb disagreement.
Hearings-Plural
Was-Singular
B correctly uses 'were' instead of 'was'.

Not convinced by the oa. I think something is missing. Can some correct me if i have the right sc here. Apologies if i dont. I hope that helps ! sounds logical.. however, I'm still not quite convinced that whether the use of "which were" here is the best way to go.. the which from "which were" could be as well be refering to two events that appeared in the beginning of the sentence. could any one else please clarify ?
