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

我想请问

第一个问题E为何不可用？

第二个问题如果把原文正确答案改成

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--were to his own time as disturbing as they are compelling for ours.可以吗？

E不可以是因为用现在完成时是错误的，因为后面是to his own time,所以限定于是过去的，不能延续到现在

第二个，不可以，你的句子明显前后不平行，前面是to xxx 后面是for ours.这个貌似不对

MM,我对比较级as。。。as很头晕，特别是在as adj....as之间加入其它成分，比如原题的to his own time。MM能否讲一讲如何读as。。。as这类题的对错?我基础实在不怎样..
