There seems to be a broad range of international policy issues on which the views of France’s Socialist president are more compatible with President Reagan’s than were those of his predecessor.


A) the views of France’s Socialist president are more compatible with President Reagan’s than were those of his predecessor

B) the views of France’s Socialist president are more compatible with those of President Reagan’s than were those of his predecessor’s

C) the views of France’s Socialist president seem more compatible with those of President Reagan than his predecessor’s

D) France’s Socialist president’s views are more compatible with President Reagan’s than his predecessor’s

E) France’s Socialist president’s views seem more compatible with President Reagan’s than those of his predecessor

The sentence looks fine as it is but let's check other options.

Quote:
B) There seems to be a broad range of international policy issues on which the views of France’s Socialist president are more compatible with those of President Reagan’s than were those of his predecessor’s

Here those of President Reagan’s doesn't make any sense.

Quote:
C) There seems to be a broad range of international policy issues on which the views of France’s Socialist president seem more compatible with those of President Reagan than his predecessor’s

We can see a change in meaning in this option. This option uses the word "seem" whereas in the original sentence the word "are" suggests certainty.

In option D and E the use of
"France’s Socialist president’s views" is just awkward.

Hence the correct answer is A
