Redundancy spoils B.
In GMAT, try avoiding words that do not modify the meaning of the sentence or the intention. This makes your answer choice clear and concise, in OG terms.
Try questioning yourself--is also really required? Like Haydn, Schubert did something does it all!
Like Haydn, Schubert also did something... is also required here? Like by itself does the job.
option that reads something like Haydn did something and Schubert also did the same thing is correct

Hi Bhavin,
Like Haydn, Schubert wrote a great deal for the stage, but he is remembered principally for his chamber and concert-hall music.
(A) Like Haydn, Schubert
(B) Like Haydn, Schubert also
(C) As has Haydn, Schubert
(D) As did Haydn, Schubert also
(E) As Haydn did, Schubert also
Choice B is incorrect because of the word “also”. It is actually redundant in the sentence. “Like” already establishes the comparison. When we present the comparison, it is understood that the two entities compared do have something in common and theta is why they are being compared. Using “also” does not make sense in that case.
In fact, we can eliminate Choice D and E on that basis also. Structurally, we can use “as” as well to present the comparison. But in that case “as” should be followed by a clause. Choices D and E both follow that structure.
However, use of “also” makes these choices incorrect.
For more details on “as” and “like”, you can review our article by clicking on the following link:

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
