Hi..
please keep the first few words as the topic name. It will help people in searching a topic easily...
let's see the Q..
1) UNLIKE is used , so there has to be a comparison..
WHAT is being compared - detective stories.... so they have to be OF an era and not IN an era........ELIMINATE A
2) the world of vs the worlds of.... the world of is correct.
Moreover there is a VERB issue in B if worlds is used... eliminate B
problem of 1950s and 1950"s in D... eliminate D
3) VERB - the world is singular and will take APPEARS
4) finally 1950s vs 1950's
1950s talks of a decade whereas 1950"s would talk of a specific point in 1950.
As we are comparing a centuary, it should be atleast a DECADE in comparison here..
1950s is correct
E

In option E, the subject is "world", which is singular. Hence the verb also should be singular "appears" - plural "appear" would be wrong.
However there is an error in option E. The antecedent of plural pronoun "those" is singular "world". Such usage is wrong - a plural pronoun cannot have a singular antecedent.
Grammatically only option D is correct, but in this option the use of "the worlds (plural) of 1950" does not make sense. The correct option could be:
"Unlike that of early 20th century detective novels, the world of 1950's noir detective stories appears"
