(C) Less successful after she emigrated to New York than she had been in

有错吧。原题的本意是LJ在一个情况下(after her emigration to NY)比她在另外一个情况下(in her native Germany)没有那么成功,所以比较的是两个situation。ABD三个选项把第一个情况(after her emigration to NY)直接和国家比较,肯定是不对。
Ron 大神在MANHATTAN 论坛里对这道题的解释是:
ABD选项的错误点不是比较对象有错误,而是compare to/with 不可以和其他比较词一起用,比如 more, less, greater, prefer, better, worse, X times as much
E 是RUN-ON sentence, 划线部分和逗号后面都是两个完整句
