OG12 79these 和them

（OG12）79. George Sand (Aurore Lucile Dupin) was one of the first European writers to consider the rural poor to be legitimate subjects for literature and portray these with sympathy and respect in her novels.

(A)  to be legitimate subjects for literature and portray these

(B)   should be legitimate subjects for literature: portray these

(C)  as being legitimate subjects for literature an portraying them

(D)  as if they were legitimate subjects for literal; and portray them

(E)   legitimate subjects for literature and to portray them

these与them
                是不是与it 和that的关系雷同。怎么用呀？

我也在复习,也做过了这个题,E里的them指的是前面说到的the rural poor,是指代.

句子是 George Sand was one of....to consider
        the rural poor subjects and to portray
        them.....

俩画线的平行,俩绿色的是相应的指代
