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 compelling 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

答案为B

问题：大家能来给我拆分分析一下B的这个比较结构吗？是谁和谁在比较？如果能省略的话，能省略哪些部分？

感谢！

这里为什么是主语比较呢？
我的理解是表语disturbing to ...和 compelling for ours...的比较
刚刚打出上 ...

(A) was as disturbing to his own time as it is 主谓不一致
(B) were as disturbing to his own time as they are
(C) has been as disturbing in his own time as they are主谓不一致
(D) had been as disturbing in his own time as it was时态并没有过去的标志词，构不成过去完成时逻辑
(E) have been as disturbing in his own time as比较错误
Thomas Eakins's powerful style and his choices of subject was as disturbing to his own time as it is compelling for ours.
这里，你要先把句子的主干挑出来， TE'S A and B is as ... as TE'S A and B ...根据句子的意思，disturbing to his own time 是就是 TE'S A and B 的，所以是主语比较，需要补出主语避免歧义

简化句子结构了是：ES's A and B was as .. as they are ..they指代 A and B 吧？这样的话应该是主语比较， ...

这里为什么是主语比较呢？
我的理解是表语disturbing to ...和 compelling for ours...的比较
刚刚打出上面一行字的时候又觉得不对劲了...
想请问这里的compelling for ours是和disturbing平行的还是修饰they are 的呢？

简化句子结构了是：ES's A and B was as .. as they are ..they指代 A and B 吧？这样的话应该是主语比较，根据语义理解就是不同时期 A and B 的作用
求指导.....
