My choice is [E] but I don't like any of them and I'm not confident at all.

My explanation would be...

[A]: incomplete, awkward, suggests "the 'modernistic' traits" are playing the role of Wagner
[B]: double negative
[C]: relates "Wagner" to "traits" instead of to "Scriabin"
[D]: double negative
[E]: Seems to be the best, but I still think it should say "Like Wagner's" but I'm clearly misreading this statement or do not understand the intent.

Not fully understanding the meaning of the sentence, made this one hard. By POE, I chose C.

B, D, E are wrong, comparison issues (unless 'Wagner' is a type of trait..)
A is wrong, cant use 'as' to compare nouns

but, I dont have much of a compelling reason to say that C is correct either.

This is a confusing one. None of them seem right. The comparison of Wagner and modernistic traits is incorrect. I picked E which is the best out of a pretty bad lot.

Same here picked E. But this is an ugly one. E with "like Wagner's" could have made straight E , I guess.

I agree with what the previous posters have said. It's difficult because none of them seem very compelling, the answer is between C and E, in my opinion.

I'll go with E on this one.

Which is the OA?

I am going with E. I feel this SC is not complete or some of the choices are wrong.

Going with E here. "not unlike" is not concise. As and such as don't fit. E is best

guys OA is B.
The explanation that I found is not that convincing to me.Let me if anyone has nice explanation.
I am not satisfied with B.
---------------------
Question from prepfortests.com
We can see that the start of the sentence changes from as to not unlike to like.

This tells us that we face a comparison problem.

In this case we need to make sure we are comparing like with like.

In this case we need to compare a person with another person and not a person with the characteristics of another person

D and E can be eliminated because they compare the person Wagner with the Scriabin's 'modernistic' traits which is not like for like.

You should use like or unlike to comparing people or things.

A can be eliminated because it uses as for the comparison.

C is incorrect because it uses such as for the comparison.

Therefore B is the correct answer because it uses not unlike to compare Wagner with Scriabin.
