Of all the scandals of 1984 election season, maybe none is controversial as the one that ended the 30-year political career of the senator from Alaska.

(A) maybe none is controversial as

(B) maybe it is none that was more controversial than

(C) perhaps none was more controversial than

(D) it maybe that none is more controversial as

(E) perhaps it is none that is more controversial than




Official Explanation :

The election season occurred in 1984, which is in the past. The verb in the sentence should therefore be in the past tense. The current verb is, is in the present tense. Eliminate (A) and any answer that repeats the mistake. This includes (B), (D), and (E).

Examine (C) just to be sure. Choice (C) corrects the error and does not make any new errors. The correct answer is (C).

Sorry I'm not sure which rule is being tested here. Can someone pls help

Idiom is more X than Y so more X as Y is incorrect.
