青椒一个verbal review 的SC问题啊 谢谢大家了！

30. 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.

其他的选项都排除了，剩下
B. were as disturbing to his own time as they are
E. have been as disturbing in his own time as

题目中说 ...compelling to our time， 不是再说对现在的影响吗，为什么不用现在完成时啊？
答案选B。

谢谢各位！！！

因为were as disturbing to his own time可是在“他自己的时代”哦，对于我们现在来说是"are"了

在A选项没有明显时态错误时，正确答案的时态应该是和A选项一致。

首先这个这句子和句子之间的比较。E的in his own time是个具体时间点，提示前面的谓语动词不能用完成时，要用一般过去时。
