Re: It was only after Katharine Graham became publisher of The [#permalink]
I'm going with C. Sequence of tenses is correct and it is clear what its is referring to. I missed that in A, I see a modifyer problem in A, it is not clear what its is referring to. I believe that's the catch in this question.

Re: It was only after Katharine Graham became publisher of The [#permalink]
I am doubtful but i would like to go with "E"
In "A","B" and "C" "it" is ambigous
and in "D" the last part is awkward..
i know "E" is also awkward but out of all the answers
i find "E" to be the best..

Re: It was only after Katharine Graham became publisher of The [#permalink]
A - a lot of 'it' wherein the first and third are without reference
B - possessive pronoun on Graham
C - correct
D - wrong in the part - 'The Washington Post, winning ....'
E - possessive pronoun on Graham

C is correct. Please counter

Re: It was only after Katharine Graham became publisher of The [#permalink]
Can somebody explain this?
How is option C incorrect? Where is it altering the meaning?

I have already provided the reason why option A can be incorrect.

Re: It was only after Katharine Graham became publisher of The [#permalink]
A is structurally parallel.
C changes the meaning because of the placement of modifier "having won high praise under her command".
