a Question

Just as a writer trying to understand shtetl life might read Shalom Aleichem or Isaac Bashevis Singer, in the same way writers trying to understand Black life in the American South might well listen to records by the Mississippi Delta Bluesman Charlie Patton.

A in the same way writers trying to understand Black life in the American South might well listen to records
B in the same way writers who try and understand Black life in the American South might well listen to record
C so a writer trying to understand Black life in the American South might well listen to records
D so do writers try and understand Black life in the American South and might well listen to a record
E then writers trying to understand Black life in the American South could well listen to records



OA C
Would anyone tell me what's the difference between A and C? I'm so confused. THX!

Well, the idiom construction is Just as X so Y.
This would straight away narrow it down to C and D
D is way off by saying try and understand ... and listen which shows understanding and listening as two parallel things when actually listening is supposed to be helping in understanding.

Hence, C
