Due in part to the fact that much of their history was composed and passed down by non-Scandinavian sources, Vikings are more often thought of in modern times as fierce, raiding warriors notorious for bringing destruction to the far-flung lands that they were able to reach in their famous longships than peaceful farmers.

Meaning. Vikings are more often thought of as fierce,raiding warriors than as peaceful farmers. Parallelism needs to be correct.

(A) than peaceful farmers

Not a parallel structure; 'as' is missing in the 2nd parallel structure (the underlined portion of the stimulus)

(B) than for peacefully farming

Incorrect parallelism -- Noun vis-a-Vis Verb

(C) as for peacefully farming

Same error as in option (B)...Incorrect parallelism -- Noun vis-a-Vis Verb

(D) than as peaceful farmers

CORRECT oprtion..since it is a parallel structure; 'as' is used in the beginning of 2nd parallel structure (the underlined portion of the stimulus), similar to the 1st parallel structure..Also, than has been used to depict comparison


(E) as peaceful farmers

'than' is required in the beginning of 2nd parallel structure (the underlined portion of the stimulus) to depict comparison


(D) is the CORRECT answer

Hope this helps..

(A) than peaceful farmers-this is incorrect.As is missing before peaceful farmers.To form the parallel structure as is required.
(B) than for peacefully farming-warriors has to be compared with farmers.Also there is parallelism issue
(C) as for peacefully farming-than is required with more for comparison alo ther is parallelism issue
(D) than as peaceful farmers-This is the correct option.Here both than and as are present .Comparison and parallelism issues are fixed
(E) as peaceful farmers-Than is required for comparison

Correct idiom is more...than so reject C and E. More... than requires parallelism to be maintained: More X than Y . Choice A lacks the word 'as' after than and hence rejected. In B, Vikings are known as 'farming' is totally absurd as people cannot be associated with an action noun and hence we are left with D.

(A) than peaceful farmers
(B) than for peacefully farming
(C) as for peacefully farming
(D) than as peaceful farmers
(E) as peaceful farmers

for me it is D - .........more often thought of in modern times as fierce............than as peaceful farmers
A - comparison issue, 'peaceful farmers' compare with 'as fierce'
B - changes meaning
C - same as B
E - idioms issue (..........more .........than......)

Answer D

more often....than is the correct idiomatic usage; so we can eliminate C & E.

A) We do not want to say that Vikings are more often thought of than peaceful farmers. Eliminate
B) more often is used before thought of...as... and not before "For bringing destruction to the far-flung langs..." if that was the case then option B would be correct.
D) Vikings are more often thought of in modern times as fierce, raiding warriors....than as peaceful farmers. Seems fine to me.

Before we look at answer options we know that it is a comparison. To maintain parallelism and consistency we need an option that start with <<than as>> followed by a noun/noun phrase.

(A) than peaceful farmers (incorrect)
(B) than for peacefully farming (incorrect)
(C) as for peacefully farming (incorrect)
(D) than as peaceful farmers (correct)
(E) as peaceful farmers (incorrect)

IMO Option D

Answer: D

Due in part to the fact that much of their history was composed and passed down by non-Scandinavian sources, Vikings are more often thought of in modern times as fierce, raiding warriors notorious for bringing destruction to the far-flung lands that they were able to reach in their famous longships than peaceful farmers.

"than peaceful farmers" needs to be in parallel with "as fierce, raiding warriors". And this needs to depict contrast rather than similar.
Correct way to do is "As X than as Y".
Only option D does that.
Vikings thought of as fierce, raiding warriors than as peaceful farmers.

(A) than peaceful farmers --> Incorrect.
(B) than for peacefully farming --> Incorrect.
(C) as for peacefully farming --> Incorrect.
(D) than as peaceful farmers --> Correct.
(E) as peaceful farmers --> Incorrect.

(A) than peaceful farmers

-'as' is missing - parallelism error
(B) than for peacefully farming

-parallelism error: it should be more often thought as X than as Y
(C) as for peacefully farming
-'than' is missing {correct idiomatic usage: more X than Y}
-for is incorrect too
(D) than as peaceful farmers
-than is correctly used
-as helps maintain the parallelism
(E) as peaceful farmers

The sentence is trying to convey to us that because Vikings' history was composed and passed down by non-Scandinavian sources, they are often perceived by the world as fierce and raiding warriors rather than as peaceful farmers.
The part about them bringing destruction to the lands in their longships is just a stretched out part of the sentence to confuse the reader on the actual parallelism structure of the sentence
The key to focus here is:
Vikings are more often thought of in modern times as fierce, raiding warriors(.......longships) THAN AS peaceful farmers

Only option D satisfies and maintains the intended meaning and parallelism structure of the sentence

Answer - D

(A) than peaceful farmers
(B) than for peacefully farming

(D) than as peaceful farmers
(E) as peaceful farmers

A, B, C are out as they have parallelism error. In E, "than" is missing. Hence, the correct answer is D.

The answer should be D.

Parallelism indicates more often thought of as...than as...
A does not contain "as" after "than"
B states "than for"- not parallel
C and E are incorrect because "more...as" is incorrect parallelism.

(A) than peaceful farmers - Comparison doesn't make sense.
(B) than for peacefully farming - "peaceful farming" cannot describe "farmers"
(C) as for peacefully farming - the correct idiom is "more.......than" . Also "peaceful farming" cannot describe farmers.
(D) than as peaceful farmers - Correct . Crisp and makes sense.
(E) as peaceful farmers - the correct idiom is "more.......than.

Methinks its D. :)

Do correct me if I am wrong.
