这个看似简单的句子，结构到底是怎么回事？

253. (GWD 4-Q13)
A leading figure in the Scottish enlightenment, Adam Smith's two major books are to democratic capitalism what Marx's Das Kapital is to socialism.
A.    Adam Smith's two major books are to democratic capitalism what
B.    Adam Smith's two major books are to democratic capitalism like
C.    Adam Smith's two major books are to democratic capitalism just as
D.    Adam Smith wrote two major books that are to democratic capitalism similar to  
E.    Adam Smith wrote two major books that are to democratic capitalism what

正确项E。能理解为什么选E。但对句子的结构不明白。

求高人帮忙做句子成分和从句分析。

A leading figure in the Scottish enlightenment, 表示主句的逻辑主语应该是指人，所以DE选择，然后有个idiom： be to X what Y be,

similar 的用法应该是：similar A to B,

所以选E

话说这题是从OG上来的吧，上面应该有解释的

PS：考试就考SC抓时间，那些高分牛人SC都是20-60s做完的，哪有那么多时间分析

谢谢！

还是想分析清楚这个句子。读起来顺口，但认真分析句子结构却说不出来，尤其这里面的what。想弄清楚这一类的句子。

A leading figure in the Scottish enlightenment（Noun. Modifier,修饰Adam Smith,应该是Appositive), Adam Smith(Subject) wrote(Verb) two major books(Object) that(定语从句，that做从句主语，指代books) are to democratic capitalism what Marx's Das Kapital is to socialism(Idiom:X is to Y what A is to B).
LZ是要介样的结构分析嘛？~~~Idiom就不用分析了吧……我也不太清楚~
