In 1945, after a career as First Lady in which she shattered expectations more audaciously than either Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison ever had been, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman.

(A) more audaciously than either Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison ever had been, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman

(B) more audaciously than either Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison, President Harry S Truman had Eleanor Roosevelt appointed to be a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly

(C) with an audacity never matched in the case of Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison, President Harry S Truman had Eleanor Roosevelt appointed as a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly

(D) with an audacity never matched by Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman

(E) with an audacity never matched either in the case of Abigail Adams or of Dolly Madison's, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed to be a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman

其他的选项都可以排除。剩下A，D

A我觉得had been不是很好，应该用过去时

但是D中 audacity(抽象名词)怎么 never matched by AA or DM（人）？

答案是D。请大家指点下 

我觉得是a的ever had been不对，就是读起来有点罗嗦，但句子的意思的确也是表示过去的过去，不该该成过去时.

同意楼上，即使用过去完成时，也是have done. 不能用have been 表示被动的。

恩，所以D答案将audaciously名词化就可以避免had been的搭配不当。
