NN帮我看看这题

论坛设施

Thomas Eakins's powerful style and his choices of subject -- the advances in modern surgery, the discipline of sport, the strains of individuals in intension 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

The answer is B, but I think B is the most incredible answer.

不懂不懂

主语是复数，另外没有明显的标志词表明要用现在完成亦或是过去完成，应该选B吧

答案是B，但我不明白的是为什么前后时态不一致，前面过去时后面是现在时？

还原主干吧。
Thomas Eakins's powerful style and his choices of subject were as disturbing to his own time as they are compelling for ours.
再拆分开来。
Thomas Eakins's powerful style and his choices of subject were disturbing to his own time。过去进行时态。
they（指代Thomas Eakins's powerful style and his choices of subject） are compelling for ours。现在进行时态。
也就是说这里的比较是过去与现在的比较，所以时态不一样的。

单复数排除ACD
比较时候的代词指代挂掉E。
我也不太拿不准是否用过去时，但是即使如此也能做。个人认为完成时如果有标志词应该也能用，只是标志词是his own time, 所以过去式靠谱些，这是说过去的一个和现在的比较。

肯定排除E E是完成时  而这题目的意思是EDISON的东西在他的时代和在现代都一样有用 这是比较关键 所以还是做SC得拿准题目意思啊  

E的have been表达不出这意思

当然E 的比较后面无代词肯定也错
