18. Each of Hemingway's wives--Hadley Richardson, Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gelhom, 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 Gelhom, 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 Gelhom, and Mary Welsh--were all strong and interesting women,
D.Strong and interesting women—Hadley Richardson, Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gelhom, and Mary Welsh--each a wife of Hemingway, was
E.Strong and interesting women—Hadley Richardson, Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gelhom, and Mary Welsh--every one of Hemingway's wives were

答案没问题。有点糊涂的是，very different from the often pallid women who populate his novels作什么成份？定语？修饰women不是应用who引导的定语从句吗？怎么会是形容词？

请大家参考一下OG-15：
15. In his research paper, Dr. Frosh, medical director of the Payne Whitney Clinic, distinguishes mood swings, which may be violent without their being grounded in mental disease, from genuine manic-depressive psychosis.
A.mood swings, which may be violent without their being grounded in mental disease, from genuine manic-depressive psychosis
B.mood swings, perhaps violent without being grounded in mental disease, and genuine manic-depressive psychosis
C.between mood swings, which may be violent without being grounded in mental disease, and genuine manic-depressive psychosis
D.between mood swings, perhaps violent without being grounded in mental disease, from genuine manic-depressive psychosis
E.genuine manic-depressive psychosis and mood swings, which may be violent without being grounded in mental disease

答案没问题。
OG解释：perhaps violent is less clear than the more developed clause which may be violent.

这里为什么形容词作修饰就不好呢？

我感觉 adj 短语在句中或句尾，ets 认为 优先作状语，修饰主语。

My point is that normally the implied logical subject of adjective phrase functioning as a verbless clause iis the subject of main clause. However, in OG 15, the logical subject of ' perhaps violent ' is the object of the clause. It seems GMAT dosn't prefer this kind of structure.
Is my point of view right?

Anybody have other ideas of this problem?

有NN解释perhaps &probably 的区别吗？


感觉perhaps 更口语化，Longman 解释用maybe 作为近意词，而解释probably 说：used to say that something is likely to happen, likely to be true etc


are there any difference?
