Seeming to be one of the few corporations diversified enough to survive the recession, many shareholders ignored the drop in third-quarter profits and invested even more heavily in Emco.

(A) Seeming to be -- misplaced modification
(B) As if --Misplaced modification; shareholders cannot be corporations
(C) In that they seemed --- the same problem as in A and B.
(D) Although it seemed --- "seemed" should be accompanied by an infinitive
(E) Because it seemed to be - correct choice.
Why does alternative D requires an infinitive?

vijaykhot either way, the use of "although" is wrong. The sentence is not trying to depict a contrast, but is rather stating the reason for shareholders' actions.
