36.   (26371-!-item-!-188;#058&002614)

 

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

  

主语是复数，排除A和C, 再往下不知道怎么做了，望指教。

1.in his own time是过去明确的时间点，所以用一般过去时；
2.本句的比较对象是they are disturbing in his own time和they are compelling for us,是两个方式之间的比较，disturbing和compelling本身无法形成比较，谓语动词不一致，不能省略，所以要将句子补充完全！

我有一个问题啊~~为什么前面是to his own time而后面又是for ours？？？
