Like Austen, the characters of Forster are concerned largely with achieving economic security in a world riddled with class distinctions.

Yes "characters" is a noun.

Hi shibsriz,

Since this SC begins with the word "like", the implication is that this SC will involve Comparison rules.

Comparisons require that you "compare like things, but the number does not matter." For example, you can compare a car to another car (or to several cars). You cannot compare a car to the price of another car (since one item is a vehicle and the other is a price).

In this SC, we need an answer that does one of the following:
1) Compares a person to a person
2) Compares the characters of a person to the characters of another person

The correct answer C compares characters to characters.
