划线主语要和Barbara McClintock平行；convinced that 更简洁也最习惯所以D答案。

我就是考虑到要和Barbara McClintock平行，误选了C答案

contrary to后面要加opinion、idea、belief等抽象词汇。。。。C的使用方法就是错的，可直接排除

LS的同学，contrary to在白勇语法中提及过，后面必须要抽象名词修饰主句，并且在LONGMAN Dictionary of Contemporary English电子版对Contrary的定义：contrary ideas, opinions, or actions are completely different and opposed to each other

Rhetorical construction;    Idiom;    Logical predication
The sentence compares a widely held conviction about genes with McClintock's adherence to her own ideas, then goes on to describe McClintock's accomplishments. The sentence must not compare widespread convictions with McClintock herself. The clearest and most efficient way to make the comparison is to introduce McClintock's colleagues' convictions in a dependent clause, followed by a main clause that introduces McClintock's different way of doing things and goes on to explain how successful she was.

A Incorrect comparison between conviction and Barbara McClintock.
B    Were of the conviction of genes being relatively simple is wordy and awkward.
C    Contrary to many of her colleagues being convinced is wordy and awkward.
D Correct. A dependent clause describing the beliefs of McClintock's colleagues is followed by the main clause presenting the contrasting beliefs of McClintock.
E    Even with many of her colleagues ... is wordy and indirect.
