The correct answer is Option (3) → (E) Only
The sentence uses the pattern so + adverb + that to show a result: the girl wrote so well that her teacher was pleased. Every part is correct.
Example: He spoke so softly that nobody could hear him.
(A) This girl wrote the essay — No error.
- "This" goes with the singular "girl", and "wrote" is the simple past.
(B) so well — No error.
- The adverb well describes how she wrote, and "so" prepares for the "that" clause.
(C) that her teacher was exceedingly — No error.
- Exceedingly means extremely, very greatly, and rightly qualifies "pleased".
(D) pleased with it. — No error.
- One is pleased with a thing or person.
