The confusion here begins with the words ‘seeming’ and ‘seemingly’ IMO. If you are able to spot this error either when you read the question or when you scan the options, you can quickly narrow it down.

You first need to be sure whether you need ‘seeming’ or ‘seemingly’. What is being modified here? The comparative adjective ‘lesser evils’. Therefore, you need an adverb. ‘Seemingly’ is an adverb as opposed to ‘seeming’ which is an adjective.

Now Options A, C, and E uses ‘seeming’ and are therefore incorrect. Eliminate.

What’s left? Options B and D.

(B) which bans such seemingly lesser evils as

The correct use of ‘which’ and ‘seemingly’ makes this the best answer. Moreover, this correctly uses the idiom ‘such as’

(D) banning such evils that seem lesser, for example

The correct idiom, as shown in Option B, is ‘such as’. Eliminate.

Option B is the best option.

Hope this helps!

Can I get an explanation for the use of AS and LIKE in this context. Which is correct and why? Since we generally use Like to give examples here also in a way we are exemplifying.
Correct me if I'm wrong
