Hi,
The answer is E and below the reasoning
meaning: Mike Powell employed finsest and up to date training techniques and in the Olympics of 1968, Mike jumped farther than Bob Beamon
Choices A and B can be cancelled as the usage "When Compared to" and "As Compared to" are unidiomatic
Choice C makes the sentence awkard.
D makes Illogical comparison as it compares Mike Powel to Bob Beamon's Distance
E. E is the correct ans as the entity compared are parallel.
Also, use of Farther (adverb) is in Comparlative form and hence than should be used.
