What about the verb winning: shouldn't be also winning.

I would take E for the answer.

Hi Bunuel

Please provide OE for this one.

Additionally, in my opinion, we are comparing speed here which is acting as a verb and not as a noun. Request you to confirm how speed is acting as noun here.

In winning the 1998 Kentucky Derby, Swiftilocks showed a burst of speed as that of Man o’War, who won 20 of 21 races in 1919 and 1920.

A. as that of Man o’War, who won

B. not unlike that of Man o’War, who won

C. not unlike Man o’War, who won

D. like that of Man o’War for winning

E. like Man o’War and his winning

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION



ANSWER: B

A is incorrect because “like” rather than “as” should be used to compare two noun phrases. C and E are incorrect because they erroneously compare Man o’War to Swiftilocks’s burst of speed. D fails to make clear whether Swiftilocks or Man o’War won the 20 races. B provides the clearest statement of the information.

E. like Man o’War and his winning

The usage of As in A sounds awkward.
B corrects that usage and uses the right tenses as well
