Just as he got closer to having all of his possessions packed, Hans found it harder to keep his apartment organized because of the increasing number of moving boxes stacked everywhere.

A and B are the only ones I see that are contenders and I think B works.

IMO B

C and D are out as they are in passive mode.

From A,B and E ...I think starting the sentence with 'Just As'is awkward as compred to 'As'..which looks correct.

Hi,
You can perhaps call them 'trolley bags'.
Cheers!

Things are not what they appear to be... nor are they otherwise

+1 for B
As it is told above, A and B are the only contenders

I think "as" is enough to start the sentence, no need to use just before it.[/spoiler]
The more you suffer before the test, the less you will do so in the test! :)

Moving boxes means boxes used to move items from one home to another.

In C and D, boxes...increasing upward doesn't make sense; the number is increasing, not the boxes themselves. Eliminate C and D.

In E, like cannot be used to compare actions (got closer...found it harder). Eliminate E.

In A, just as means at the very moment: I walked outside just as it started to rain. Thus, A can be eliminated because it doesn't make sense to say that there was a precise moment at which Hans got closer and found it harder; closer and harder imply a situation that is progressing. Eliminate A.

The correct answer is B.

Please note also the idiom just as X, so (too) Y, which is used to compare actions:

Just as Mary swims fast, so too does John.

This idiom is not appropriate for the SC above: the actions got closer and found it harder are not being compared.
