138. 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.

原句说尽管EBB是个比她丈夫还要好的诗人，她也被他的成功所影响
我认为D选项把原句的句意颠倒了，与AB说的相反，为什么正确选项选择D呢？
求教！

贴下og的解释：
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.
A This version of the sentence misuses the idiom the better poet, most likely
confusing it with the idiom a better poet than.
B [W]as considered among her contemporaries as is awkward and
unnecessarily creates a potential misreading (she was considered to be
among her contemporaries).
C 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.
D Correct. This version avoids the problems of the other versions.
E This sentence comically compares Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetry to
her husband.

同学，意思没有相反，但是重点有转移了，但是本着5个里面选最不贱的那个，你就从了吧

我也同意楼主观点，按照GMAT一贯习惯，把A选项当成想表达的意思，那么句子重点就应该在，丈夫比她成功上，而D正好反过来了。
among her contemporaries 应该是作为插入成分，虽然插入位置略显奇怪但不至于错误那么严重吧？ OG答案解释说有歧义我不是很懂，求大神解释如何在BD间选择。

可能我表达的不太对，确实是转移了重点，但一般这种情况都会被视为不优的呀，可以解释一下B吗

AB的让步状语意思是不对的：尽管EBB被认为是比她丈夫好的诗人，她的成就还是被他丈夫超越了。D的意思是对的：尽管EBB的成就被她丈夫超越了，但是EBB还是好的诗人。亲，体会一下～

请问为什么AB意思是不对的呢？我感觉只是把重点放在了被超越上

顶！我也在纠结这道题目

在BD中进行选择的关键在于B中的比较不对等， she was later overshadowed by his success中，she和his success不能比较，应该是her success.可以看D中说的就很正确。

至于重心问题，从句意上看没有改变，不要简简单单根据A的结构来判断，而要根据内在的含义。比如说有的题目中题中A中的主干会变成正确答案的从句部分，这就是内在含义符合逻辑，并且未改变即可，而不是单单的结构问题。

此题排除点在于比较对象是否对等，无需纠结其他点浪费时间。
