Just as reading Charles Dicken’s Oliver Twist made 19th century Londoners aware of the evils of workhouses for under-aged children and do something about them, so John Lennon’s famous song “Give Peace a Chance” made American citizens more empathetic to the Vietnam War and gave them an anthem for their peace rallies.

E. so did listening to John Lennon’s famous song “Give Peace a Chance” made American citizens more empathetic and gave an anthem to the Vietnam War peace rallies.
(A) This sentence is built around the comparison just as x, so y. In the original sentence, x (reading Charles Dicken’s Oliver Twist) is not parallel to y (John Lennon’s famous song “Give Peace a Chance”)
(B) The comparison structure just as x, so y has been broken by not including so. No verb for John Lennon’s famous song means that the first verb reading is applicable to John Lennon’s famous song, which does not make logical sense.
(C)The comparison structure just as x, so y has been broken by not including so. The verb listening is always followed by the preposition to when referring to music.
(D) Correct The comparison structure just as x, so y is properly maintained; parallel elements are compared in both x (reading...) and y (listening to...) and awareness and action of Londoners in part one is balanced properly by empathy and rallies of Americans in part two.
(E) Verbs made and gave should be in present tense after the past tense verb did. The end of the sentence makes it sound as if American citizens became more empathetic to the peace rallies, thus changing the meaning of the sentence.
Answer: D
