321. That the new managing editor rose from the publication's "soft" news sections to a leadership position is more of a landmark in the industry than [U]her being a woman[/U].
A.
B.being a woman is
C.her womanhood
D.that she was a woman
E.that she is a woman

这题的C/E两个答案搞不明白，因为than是连词，那么两边应该平行对称，如果这么分析答案应该选C。但是正确答案却为何为E？

你已经分析对了-“两边应该平行对称”，谓语动词is前后比较的对象应该是对称的，前面是一个that引导的从句，后面也应该是个that从句，答案应该在D\E里。she is a woman是一个事实，用is不用was.
