Of all the powerful dynasties in Europe, perhaps none was more influential as the Hapsburg dynasty that ruled Austria from 1282 until 1918.

A. perhaps none was more influential as
B. possibly none is more influential as
C. it could be that none is as influential as
D. perhaps none were more influential than
E. perhaps none was more influential than





OFFICIAL EXPLANATION



If you spot the idiom error in the sentence, you can quickly eliminate choices A, B, and C. The correct phrase should be “more…than,” not “more….as.” That leaves only two choices remaining. Choice D contains a subject verb agreement error, so that leaves choice E as the best answer. Of course, if you don’t spot the idiom problem, you can look for other errors to help you eliminate choices. You could eliminate choices B and C because they use the present tense when the past tense is required. That would still leave you with choices A and E, however, so you will have to know the correct idiom to get this one right.
