The tag for the SE is NOT [table1] but [tablet] it is the tag at the right most side. If you hover over with your mouse you can easily see the description

Always translate the sentence in your own words

Even though she made a variety of reviews, which means not only negative or positive but a spectrum of reviews in different forms, the audience create a paradox

They expected the reviews instead to be flat or I.E. one and only single parameter

as such, they expressed doubt and distrust (not believe) to her reviews

I hope now is more clear

So, her reviews are not as per their expectation. So they will doubt her. This is normal behavior from someone who believes reviews should have a single method of interpretation.

How does it create a paradox? I don't think this is a paradox.

No they expected the reviews were based on just ONE standard.

She instead made reviews following different standards or executing a variegation of them

They expected X from her and she did Y so the paradox

Therefore, the critics doubted her genuine work

I feel although and paradoxically are redundant for B & D to be correct. Can someone explain the purpose of although in this question?
