请教语法题
103. Poet Amy Lowell ( began ）　her career （　by publishing ）　the
   conventional volume A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass ,
   （ despite ）eventually succeeded Ezra Pound as　（ leader）
   of the progressive Imagists.
答案是C,改为althoough ,但我人为D 也不对,可数名词 leader 应有修饰呀?


114. Structuralism and ( it ) derivative theories, especially
    deconstructionism, ( have proposed ) to alter ( drastically )
    the direction of literary studies ( during ) the last thirty or
    thirty-five years.
答案是A, 我同意,但C是否也不对, drastically副词做状语不能放在谓语和宾语之间吧?
