The sentence begins using the idiom for comparison "as", which compares two clauses. We must find the answer that most appropriately compares the various languages contributing to English to x and maintains parallel structure.

We must look no further than A since it provides us with a logical comparison between the various languages and many traditions. Properly uses "Just as X...So is Y..."

B. compares the various languages to the coexistence

C. Unnecessarily awkward and uses passive voice

D. Does not maintain parallel structure and improper usage of the "Just as/so is"

E.This sentence is a fragment.

Please let me know if any of my arguments are incorrect!
