标题: OG SC有一题求教大神～～
Although she was considered among her contemporaries to be the better poet than her husband, later Elizabeth Barrett Browning was overshadowed by his success.

A. Although she was considered among her contemporaries to be the better poet than her husband, later Elizabeth Barrett Browning was overshadowed by his success.

B. Although Elizabeth Barrett Browning was considered among her contemporaries as a better poet than her husband, she was later overshadowed by his success.

C. Later overshadowed by the success of her husband, Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poetry had been considered among her contemporaries to be better than that of her husband.

D. Although Elizabeth Barrett Browning's success was later overshadowed by that of her husband, among her contemporaries she was considered the better poet.

E. Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poetry was considered among her contemporaries as better than her husband, but her success was later overshadowed by his.


Your Answer is Incorrect
Idiom; Verb form; Logical predication
The sentence misuses the locution the better poet. It is acceptable to say a better poet than but not the better poet than. If you have already mentioned two poets X and Y, and you want to say that X is better than Y, you can either say X is a better poet than Y, or simply, X is the better poet.
The subject here is Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poetry, not Elizabeth Barrett Browning, so the antecedent of her in her husband could comically be taken to be Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poetry. Furthermore, the tense of had been considered pairs oddly with Later overshadowed. Each seems to be in reaction to some particular time T—later than T and earlier than T, but when T was or its significance is never indicated.

题目的C选项OG说是因为主语是EB‘s poetry，所以her会被认为是EB's poetry；但是D选项（题目的答案）主语是EB's success，那么后文中的her就不能被认为是EB's success吗？
