(D) with an audacity never matched by Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman -appointed as someone or appointed to a position
(E) with an audacity never matched either in the case of Abigail Adams or of Dolly Madison's, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed to be a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman
D distorts the meaning . In D , it appears as a delegate was appointed for Eleanor Roosevelt by someone rather than Eleanor Roosevelt himself/herself being the delegate.
IMO E.

I think Abigail Adams is correct , apostrophe is not needed in Dolly Madison's .In E, isn't Abigail Adams missing an apostrophe?
Case of Dolly Madison rather than case of Dolly Madison's .
What is the OA here ?

GK- my comments inline. Let me know if the my Answer is correct.GmatKiss wrote:In 1945, after a career as First Lady in which she shattered expectations more audaciously than either Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison ever had been, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman.
(A) more audaciously than either Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison ever had been, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman --- here "using ever had been" to me is wordy. Since we are doing comparison we just need "then"
(B) more audaciously than either Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison, President Harry S Truman had Eleanor Roosevelt appointed to be a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly --- this one has modifier issue. President Harry after comma is incorrect
(C) with an audacity never matched in the case of Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison, President Harry S Truman had Eleanor Roosevelt appointed as a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly --- wordy. "in the case of". Tense issue as well-- we need simple past "Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed a delegate" is the correct usage
(D) with an audacity never matched by Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman --- this is perfect choice. Sentence is correct meaning vise and tense vise.
(E) with an audacity never matched either in the case of Abigail Adams or of Dolly Madison's, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed to be a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman - wordy also the usage " to be" doesnt look good. Sorry I don't remember the technical term. But this option looks incorrect.
