IMO E

(A) Degler does more than merely summarizing - does and summarizing are not parallel
(B) Degler’s study is more than a mere summarizing of - he can not refer to Degler's
(C) Degler has done more than a mere summarizing of - perfect tense is wrong here
(D) Degler’s study has done more than summarize merely - same error as B
(E) Degler does more than merely summarize - does is parallel to summarize

E) Degler does more than merely summarize "summarize" does not agree with subject "Degler" After reading this thread, http://www.beatthegmat.com/degler-t39590.htmlI am not so clear about this problem

The term "more than" isn't really used to compare two things-- it's used to indicate a higher degree/intensity of an action verb. Normally, "summarize" doesn't match with the singular subject "Degler." But in this case, you are not just saying "Degler summarizes"----rather, you are saying "Degler does more than [action verb]..." So in this case, GMAT is not testing you on Apples Vs Oranges (Framework #2). It's also not testing you on X&Y consistency. Simply saying "Degler does more than merely (just) summarize XYZ" is fine.As is "Degler is more than just a giant."

I am new to this forum, this is my first post. Really appreciate the explainations you guys have given, but this is the way I approached this question:
In the sentence "Degler does more than merely summarizing"
merely -> adverb
summarizing -> noun (gerund: noun formed from verb summarize)
since an adverb can't modify a noun, merely can't modify summarizing.
Merely can modify verb summarize, therefore E is correct.
