I would go with D
A B C seem to have pronoun errors..
D seems the most logical one.
what's the OA?

I say D simply because the others have "it" in them.

while i was doing this question, ididn't noticed that "seemingly" is needed here,an adverb, instead of seeming so it is between d and e.
and i think Dis idomatically correct.
also OA is D

Bumping an old thread  , nice question (A) believing it a seeming permanent accommodation rather than a temporary expedient for what many observers thought was Seeming( adjective) incorrectly modifies the noun accommodation, whereas it actually should modify the adjective permanent. To do so, seeming should be changed to adverb seemingly.. (B) believing it a seeming permanent accommodation instead of a temporary expedient for what many observers thought was Same as A, (C) believing that it was not a temporary expedient but a seeming permanent accommodation to what many observers thought of as a same as A, moreover, thought of as a shows redundancy, thought was is concise. (D) not as a temporary expedient but as a seemingly permanent accommodation to what many observers thought was CORRECT(E) not as a temporary expedient but believing it a seemingly permanent accommodation for what many observers thought parallelism error, the highlighted parts are not parallel
