Despite the recent election of a woman to the office of prime minister, the status of women in Pakistan is little changed from how it was in the last century.
(A) is little changed from how it was
(B) is a little change from how it was
(C) has changed little
(D) has changed little from how it has been
(E) is little changed from the way it was
While the popular opinion about this question is C, I am finding C illogical.
Firstly it talks about something that has the effect until now and then compares it to a state of the past.C would have made full sense, had the last words been in the present century.
Secondly, it distorts the meaning of the original sentence. The sentence is trying to compare the status of women in this century to the status of women in the last century.
C totally eats up this comparison and says somethign else.
How can this possible be the correct choice then.
D, on the other hand, keeps the meaning intact and conveys the right message.
Can someone clarify this issue heere.
