Unlike the buildings of the Baroque era, which were extremely ornamental and lavish in design, Neoclassical era marked a return to buildings with simplistic and timeless designs.
Meaning: Two types of buildings are compared based on design eg. unlike 'the buildings of the Baroque era', which were extremely ornamental and lavish in design, the buildings of the neoclassical erahad simplistic and timeless designs.

Buildings of the Baroque era are wrongly compared to Neoclassical era. Not logical.

(A) Neoclassical era marked a return to buildings with
(B) Neoclassical buildings having
(C) Neoclassical era had buildings with
(D) the buildings of the Neoclassical era had
(E) the buildings of the Neoclassical era having

Both A and C suffer from erroneous comparison error. Both B and E render incompleteness (because there's no verb) to the clause and produce no meaning at all. All ABCE can be dumped right away. D is the winner :D

IMO D, Classic comparison question. we need to compare buildings of one era to the buildings of another era.

Unlike the buildings of the Baroque era, which were extremely ornamental and lavish in design, Neoclassical era marked a return to buildings with simplistic and timeless designs.

(A) Neoclassical era marked a return to buildings with -> comparing buildings with era
(B) Neoclassical buildings having --> no Verb (its a fragment)
(C) Neoclassical era had buildings with --> comparing building with era
(D) the buildings of the Neoclassical era had --> Correct(compares buildings with buildings)
(E) the buildings of the Neoclassical era having --> no verb (its a fragment)

Official Explanation



Answer: D

The buildings of the Baroque era can be compared with buildings of the Neoclassical era and not with the Neoclassical era itself. This eliminates A and C. B and E do not contain a verb (having is just a modifier). D is the correct answer as it contains the verb had and it also correctly compares buildings from the two eras.
