I would go for D. I think we are comparing how does the work read?? Does makes sense for me in the end.. Any thoughts on my interpretation??

IMO D is correct because it compares how the novel does not read as an apprentice work reads(does).
In A the comparison seems to be wrong. Could anyone elaborate on why A is correct?

(A) does not read like an apprentice work
(B) seems not to read as an apprentice work
(C) does not seem to read as an apprentice work would
(D) does not read like an apprentice work does
(E) reads unlike an apprentice work


Is the answer A or E? Pl expalin.
Please post the OA and OE, although it is obvious.
The GMAT is indeed adaptable. Whenever I answer RC, it proficiently 'adapts' itself to mark my 'right' answer 'wrong'.

I feel that D is wrong because it says "... like an apprentice work does". Like does not include verbs. Like supports only phrases. So A is a better choice.
