Between B and D I choose D. This seem one of the classic 'like' and 'as' situation and I am unsure about my decision. I am leaning towards D becausein B - 'his' in the last sentence is little unclear as to whom it is referring to.

I'd go with C here
"have" is improperly used in A and D to refer to Mr. Leonard's action. I believe Leonard dramatized his last 3 plays, not himself. B and E are out.

I think, the subject of the sentence is Mr.Leonard, not his plays.

D, my choice.

Oops, I did not see the apostrophe after O'Neill's name. C cannot be good and D must be it... :oops:

Wow, I must totally not understand this sentance because I think the answer should be B. (Comparing the person, using 'like')

:hammer ok, I'm lacking analysis on this one and just jumped in the D bandwagon without giving it further thoughts. E it must be.
A and D are out because "have" does not properly refer to Mr. Leonard.
C is out because "as Eugene O'Neill's did" means that Eugene O'Neill's book also turned toward autobiographical material.
B has possessive form "like Eugene O'Neill's". What does it refer to? Does it refer to O'Neill's plays? Anyhow, it certainly does not refer to Eugene O'neill himself and does not properly compare Mr. Leonard to Eugene. I'm pretty confident it must be E 8-)

E.

1. "Leonard.... have" is wrong. it has to be "has".
And "through their" is wrong. it has to be "through his".
So, eliminated A, C, D

2. B has an apostrophe (possesive), but nothing to posses. If B was "like Eugene O'Neil did" - I would have selected B.
I dont see "as with Eugene O'Neil" as good, but this is the best among the worst.

OA?

The apostrophe 's' is cut off in B physically. Was there a real typo. I read it as Eugene of Neil only.

Right. That's why I chose B, seemed to be comparing the persons.

The OA is C.

I think there is a typo in answer choice C. The apostrophe should not be in C.

"their" should be used for sure to refer to three plays.
