In the 1970s, it became evident that writing about someone else’s research was much easier for social scientists who wanted to make a quick name for themselves than it was to do their own research.

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
B
The problem in the stem sentence is that there are two actions that ought to be parallel but are not. Writing (about someone else’s research) was easier than to do the research themselves. You could fix this two ways in the real world: Writing was easier than doing, or it was easier to write than to do. Each of the other answer choices mixes and matches these two ways incorrectly, except for choice B. Putting the phrase for social scientists first, as choices D and E do, would not necessarily be wrong if the verbs were parallel. Choices D and E also do not have the idiom evident that. The best answer is B.
