D as well, you should compare her feelings to feelings, or a person to a person and only D does it.

Content though she seems, the unhappiness of the housewife is evident to those who know her well.


(A) Content though she seems, the unhappiness of the housewife

(B) Even though she seems content, the unhappiness of the housewife

(C) Though content, the housewife’s unhappiness

(D) Though the housewife seems content, her unhappiness

(E) The unhappiness of the housewife who seems content

MANHATTAN REVIEW OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:



The sentence should have a contrast within it. Even though the housewife seems content, she is unhappy. E does not have this element of contrast. Choices A and B present the pronoun ‘she’ without any clear reference. It is better to have the pronoun after the noun to which it is related, not before. Choice C has a dangling modifier. The person who is content must be mentioned directly after the comma. Choice D is therefore the correct answer.
