In 1933 the rubber, clothing, and shipbuilding
industries put into effect a six-hour workday,
believing it a seeming permanent accommodation
rather than a temporary expedient for what many
observers thought was an economy made overpro-
ductive by advances in technology.

(A) believing it a seeming permanent accommoda-
tion rather than a temporary expedient for
what many observers thought was
(B) believing it a seeming permanent accommoda-
tion instead of a temporary expedient for
what many observers thought was
(C) believing that it was not a temporary expedient
but a seeming permanent accommodation to
what many observers thought of as a
(D) not as a temporary expedient but as a seem-
ingly permanent accommodation to what
many observers thought was
(E) not as a temporary expedient but believing it a
seemingly permanent accommodation for
what many observers thought

搞不清楚这个句子的后半部分的机构，特别是这部分（把正确答案D插入后）：not as a temporary expedient but as a seemingly permanent accommodation to what many observers thought was an economy made overproductive by advances in technology.
请问这里的what从句里面的谓语是什么？是though 还是 was , 我理解 what many observers thought was为插入语：很多观察家思考的那样 但是如果是插入语应该有逗号割开吧。 请各位帮忙解惑。
另外我做这道题的时候，根据 it没有指代对象这点就把A，B，C，E排除了，请问这个依据对不对。
期盼各位解答！

FYI

>请问这里的what从句里面的谓语是什么？
thought.
what-clause 作主语,省略一个what引导宾语从句做to的宾语
(what) what many observers thought was sth.

嗬嗬，有点悬。

为什么认为it 没有指代对象?
我认为, it可以指代a six-hour workday.
A,B,错在believe后面不接双宾语.and seeming should be "seemingly"
