OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
THE PROMPT
In the other portion of the non-underlined part, something does "make liberal use" of text and dialogues.
In other words, the sentence must be written to convey contrast.
• Parallelism
→ when you see like or unlike, you are likely to be tested on parallelism and logic.
Lynd Ward's books, for example, can only be compared with graphic novels and not with their authors.
THE OPTIONS
→ This sentence uses unlike to set up a contrast between modern graphic novels and Lynd Ward’s books.
KEEP A
The nonunderlined part beginning with the relative pronoun which implies that the sentence is setting up a contrast between modern graphic novels and Lynd Ward’s books, making the use of like incorrect.
ELIMINATE B
The authors of graphic novels cannot be compared with Lynd Ward’s books.
ELIMINATE C
This sentence incorrectly compares something ("that") of graphic novels with Lynd Ward’s books.
What does that refer to? (Answer: nothing sensible.)
ELIMINATE D
This sentence incorrectly compares something in modern graphic novels with Lynd Ward’s books.
ELIMINATE E
The answer is A.
COMMENTS
Almost all of these answers are stellar in their own ways.
Aspirants, read the thread. You will get a good sense of different ways to explain things.
Then you can post yourselves.
(As always, aspirants have a standing invitation to post.)
Nicely done!
