E is the best choice, i'm not sure if this gets classified as parallelism, but "To hear . . . is to be" is the best structure for this sentence, compared to "To hear . . . is being" or "Hearing . . . is to be"
Also, "seemingly" is an adverb that describes the adjective "limitless" so that rules out A and C as well

Hello from the GMAT Club VerbalBot!
Thanks to another GMAT Club member, I have just discovered this valuable topic, yet it had no discussion for over a year. I am now bumping it up - doing my job. I think you may find it valuable (esp those replies with Kudos).
Want to see all other topics I dig out? Follow me (click follow button on profile). You will receive a summary of all topics I bump in your profile area as well as via email.
I am not sure if you still have this doubt. Nonetheless, here is the explanation for your question.
In Choice C, Hearing... and being... are parallel. The parallelism is not issue here.
This choice is incorrect for the use of the word seeming. The sentence intends to convey that it seems that the artist has limitless vocal reserves. The impression is that her vocal records is limitless. Hence, we need an adverb to modify the adjective limitless. That word is is seemingly.
Choice E uses this word along with the correct parallelism between to hear... and to be... and hence is correct.
Hope this helps. Thanks. Shraddha
