OG-265 不明白答案的as...as平行结构

265. Thomas Eakins’s powerful style and his choices of subject - the advances in modern surgery, the discipline of sport, the strains of individuals in tension with society or even with themselves – was as disturbing to his own time as it is completing for ours.

A. was as disturbing to his own time as it is

B. were as disturbing to his own time as they are

C. has been as disturbing in his own time as they are

D. had been as disturbing in his own time as it was

E. have been as disturbing in his own time as

我不太明白答案B的as...as结构，as disturbing to his own time as they are completing for ours.

比较答案E中的as...as结构， as disturbing in his own time as completing for ours, 怎么觉着E中的as.as结构看着更顺眼呢？

1、首先E选项时态错了。主要是要理解句子是想对比两个不同时间

里Thomas Eakins的影响。

对于他那个时代disturbing的程度 和 对于我们这个时代completing的程度是一样的。

因此时态一个是过去，一个是现在

2、介词in的问题。in是个状语，表示“在”那个时候很disturbing。to表示“对”那个时代。用“to"的话，更让人感觉是“时代”是句子里的一个对象，而非简简单单的一个时间状语修饰。

我也许表达不清，请见谅（关键是第1点，第2点我不太sure）
