This isn't quite right. The dashes serve to set off that part of the text as a parenthetical, so in B "each" cannot be the subject of "were." Besides, we have already started the sentence with a set of nouns (the women's names), so those need a verb, and "were" is it! The trouble is in the middle. "Each" is singular, and each woman can't be "wives," as I detailed in my last post. So, for the same reason, "each a wife" in D agrees just fine, even if it's not the best way to get the meaning across. D has plenty of other troubles, as discussed above. Changing "wife" to "wives" would add to the,!

Each of Hemingway’s wives—Hadley Richardson, Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gelhorn, and Mary Welsh—were strong and interesting women, very different from the often pallid women who populate his novels.
(A) Each of Hemingway’s wives—Hadley Richardson, Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gelhorn, and Mary Welsh—were strong and interesting women,
(B) Hadley Richardson, Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gelhorn, and Mary Welsh—each of them Hemingway’s wives—were strong and interesting women,
(C) Hemingway’s wives—Hadley Richardson, Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gelhorn, and Mary Welsh—were all strong and interesting women,
(D) Strong and interesting women—Hadley Richardson, Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gelhorn, and Mary Welsh—each a wife of Hemingway, was
(E) Strong and interesting women—Hadley Richardson, Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gelhorn, and Mary Welsh—every one of Hemingway’s wives were
Here is my concern:
The correct answer is Hemingway’s wives—Hadley Richardson, Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gelhorn, and Mary Welsh—were all strong and interesting women, very different from the often pallid women who populate his novels.
So, I thought that before "very different" should be a conjunction since we are still talking about the characteristics of these women.
It should be something like Hemingway’s wives—Hadley Richardson, Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gelhorn, and Mary Welsh—were all strong and interesting women and very different from the often pallid women who populate his novels.
or Hemingway’s wives—Hadley Richardson, Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gelhorn, and Mary Welsh—were all strong and interesting women, and they were very different from the often pallid women who populate his novels.
I thought C is a comma splice.
I chose C wrong knowingly. How to avoid that issue in the future?
Thanks

How can the word "his" in the not underlined portion refer back to The subject with the apostrophe ie Hemingway's. The pronoun cannot refer back to the apostrophe ?
No?
No?
