Much like the nobility of old, historians maintain that today's royalty is concerned primarily with the accoutrements of wealth and power.

B. Today's royalty, much like the nobility of old, it is maintained by historians,

C. Much like the nobility of old, historians maintain today's royalty

D.Historians maintain that today's royalty, much like the nobility of old,

E.Historians maintain, today's royalty, much like the nobility of old,


A. Much like the nobility of old, historians maintain that today's royalty ---- Faulty comparison

B. Today's royalty, much like the nobility of old, it is maintained by historians, --- 'it' pronoun is redundant

D.Historians maintain that today's royalty, much like the nobility of old, --- Right comparison

E.Historians maintain, today's royalty, much like the nobility of old --- That is needed here

B. Today's royalty, much like the nobility of old, it is maintained by historians,

C. Much like the nobility of old, historians maintain today's royalty

D.Historians maintain that today's royalty, much like the nobility of old,

E.Historians maintain, today's royalty, much like the nobility of old,

Because the clause "is concerned primarily......................" is a report, thus "that" is necessary. Down to A & D.
A is wrong because it compares "the nobility of old" and "historians"
D is the best.

Confusion should be between A and D.

A is incorrect because nobility of old is compared to historians

D is correct because royalty is compared logically to nobility.

Compare the correct thing. Can't compare royalty to historians or something else. Cancel the awkward sentences and you are left with D
