a. same

As -used for comparing actions...It seems singers must perform as dancers..so their actions are compared and not themselves

b. of singers who must also perform like dancers

Like use to compare nouns..we are not comparing dancers and singers here


c. that they are singers who must perform like dancer

you cannot use "that" to refer a human

d. that, as singer, they must also perform as a dancer

you cannot use "that" to refer a human

e. to be a singer they must also perform as a dancer

to be is passive


Tha correct answer is A.
