Empowergmat Official Explanation:
This sentence deals with correct modifier use and idiom structure when comparing two things. The idiom format should be A is to B “what” C is to D. Differences are highlighted in the text:
A. Mozart’s Serenade No.13 is to the classical period what
This is incorrect. Mozart’s Serenade No.13 is not a historic composer. The opening modifier does not make sense as a descriptor of the composition, only the composer himself.
B. Mozart’s Serenade No.13 is to the classical period like
This is incorrect. Mozart’s Serenade No.13 is not a historic composer. The opening modifier does not make sense as a descriptor of the composition, only the composer himself. The idiom structure is also incorrect; it should be “what” instead of “like.”
C. Mozart’s Serenade No.13 is to the classical period just as
This is incorrect. Mozart’s Serenade No.13 is not a historic composer. The opening modifier does not make sense as a descriptor of the composition, only the composer himself. The idiom structure is also incorrect; it should be “what” instead of “just as.”
D. Mozart wrote Serenade No.13 that is to the classical period similar to
This is incorrect. Using “similar to” for comparting Mozart and Vivaldi and their pieces is not the correct idiom structure.
E. Mozart wrote Serenade No.13 that is to the classical period what
This is correct. Using “what” to compare Mozart and Vivaldi and their pieces is the correct idiom structure.
