Official Answer
The non-underlined portion of the sentence contains the comparison word unlike, so check for comparison errors. The sentence compares the publications of historian Lydia Bushnell to Thomas Kale. Since the correct comparison is publications to publications, this is a comparison error. Eliminate choice A and look for any obvious repeaters. Choice B is an obvious repeater since it also compares the publications of historian Lydia Bushnell to Thomas Kale, so eliminate choice B for a comparison error. Now, evaluate the remaining answer choices individually, looking for reasons to eliminate each.
Choice C fixes the original comparison error by correctly comparing the publications of historian Lydia Bushnell to Thomas Kale’s publications and introduces no new errors, so keep choice C. Choice D compares the publications of historian Lydia Bushnell to the achievement ceremony, so eliminate choice D for a comparison error. Choice E fixes the original comparison error by correctly comparing the publications of historian Lydia Bushnell to the publications of Thomas Kale but creates a new error by changing the subject of the underlined clause from Thomas Kale to the publications resulting in the illogical structure the publications…were given an achievement ceremony, so eliminate choice E for a subject-verb agreement error.
