What does test anxiety really look like on the GMAT? For many test takers, it does not look like a panic attack. Instead, it shows up as brain fog, rereading, negative comparisons, mental noise....

Early medieval monasteries, while clearly less accessible to outsiders, often served as repositories for texts, like modern libraries.
(A) while clearly less accessible to outsiders, often served as repositories for texts, like modern libraries
(B) like modern libraries, often served as text repositories, though they were clearly less accessible to outsiders
(C) while clearly less accessible to outsiders, often served as repositories for texts as does the modern libary
(D) like modern libraries, while clearly less accessible to outsiders, often served as repositories for texts
(E) while clearly less accessible to outsiders, acted like modern libraries act by serving as repositories for texts
1) Does anyone see a problem with the original's "less accessible"? Less accessible than what? Can you really bring the "modern libraries" back at the end there? Especially after it goes on to be the object of "often served as" via comparison.
2) Does anyone see a problem with Kaplan's incessant use of "while" in place of "although"?

Well thank you, but certainly you wouldn't be able to have a sentence like, "The house was less accessible." It absolutely begs the questions "less accessible than what?"

Answer should be B. "Like" is placed correctly and it clearly compares the early medieval monasteries with modern libraries. Pronoun "they" refers to medieval monastries.
