隔壁家的小雯子

Thomas Eakins' 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.

• Awas as disturbing to his own time as it is 分析该选项
• Bwere as disturbing to his own time as they are 分析该选项
• Chas been as disturbing in his own time as they are 分析该选项
• Dhad been as disturbing in his own time as it was 分析该选项
• Ehave been as disturbing in his own time as 分析该选项
• 答案是B。但我感觉B选项并不平行啊 虽然E选项时态不对  求大神解答 拜谢

E项和B项的结构其实是一样的，只是E项因为have been前后一样就省略了后面的，B项因为were和are前后形式不一致，所以补出了they are。

这就需要从语义层面来考虑：

Thomas Eakins有力的写作风格和他对主题的选择，在他那个时代引起的震动正如在今天给我们带来的巨大赞叹和吸引力。（BY 别人的翻译）

从语义出发，选B
