　　Lady Day, as Billie Holiday was usually called, was the finest jazz singer of her generation, and it was the opinion of her fans, she was the greatest jazz singer of the twentieth century.

　　(A) it was the opinion of her fans, she was

　　(B) the opinion of her fans was of her as

　　(C) her fans had this opinion, she was

　　(D) for her fans, the opinion was of her as

      (E) in the opinion of her fans, she was

正確答案：E
