To compare the lightning-fast genius of playwright Tom Stoppard with the pedestrian efforts of some of his contemporaries is to compare the exquisite bouquet of a fine wine with that of ordinary grape juice.

Two reasons.

1. The original sentence is of the form:

"To compare A of X to B of Y is to compare C of Z to that of W."

You have parallelism with A of X, B of Y, C of Z and that of W.

2. With inanimate objects, usage of the 's as possessive, though grammatically correct, is not preferable. You would choose the form "bouquet of the wine" over "wine's bouquet". This is to do with style.

This is "X is Y" parallelism. So we need "To do X is to do y" structure. Only A and E has it. E is wrong because "bouquet of a fine wine" is better than "a fine wine's bouquet". Only use X's Y for living things. Eg: John's room, David's car. For non living things, it is preferred to use "X of Y". Eg: Palaces of India.

Hope that helps..
