my pick D
A comparison.....the frequency of August Wilson's works(performed) are being compared to those of African-American playwrights...hence
more.....is followed by than...also those is needed so as to clearly state that the its the frequency of plays that is being compared.
Life is all about ass; you're either covering it, laughing it off, kicking it, kissing it, busting it, trying to get a piece of it, or behaving like one.

The question is of course made a bit more challenging by the way we often refer to the works of artists and authors by the names of those people: "I'm studying Shakespeare this year" or "He owns a genuine Picasso". As you all noticed, though. GMAT comparisons do need to be between similar things.
