595. Real similar to a Hollywood movie set with nothing behind the building fronts, the country’s apparent new-found affluence masks a very different reality: most citizens are not living at all well.

(B) Much as if it was
(C) As though

IMO D

2 reasons for not selecting E
1) The elment being compared here 'a hollywood movie' is a noun. So we use like. HAd it been some aspect or property of the hollywood movie, described by some verb , we would have chosen as of the comparison but not here.

2) Just as .....so too is the correct idiom which is not the case with E
