The usage of "as" and "like" is interchangable in comparison problem, the usage is dependant on construction.

There is a illogical comparison in E as I explained above i.e a possesive noun can only be compared with posessive noun.

Refer OG-12 SC #97, option A is wrong for similar reason (illogical comparison between possesive and non possesive )

option A in OG 12 sc 97 would have been equivalent to option e in this sc , had option A in #97 been tone system of bartok.
here you are comparing language of X with Y's language
there u r comparing tone system of X with Y

#97 - A) unlike schoenberg's tone, bartok... ( so this is wrong )
this would be correct :
- unlike schoenberg's, bartok's tone...
C is correct bacause two noun in non possesive case are compared.

as far as E is concerned it is comparing Auden's language with the langauge of james, so this is illogical comparison and hence incorrect. All the below comparison is correct :
Like Auden, james
like the langauge of Auden, the langauge of James
Like Auden's, james's language

It has nothing to do with the usage of "as" and "like" as they are not the point of elimination here.

Hope this helps

my question was whats wrong with E.
Now my question is whaTS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN saying "James' language " and saying "language of James "

ok...i actually got your question wrong. Sorry for that.

As far as meaning is concerned there is no difference. But when we compare two ( or more than two items), the items should be parallel ( logical structure of both the part should be same).

such as :
- possesive case noun can be compared with posessive case noun,
- non possesive case noun can be compared with non posessive case noun
- action can be compared with action
(please note that u can use both compared with/compared to - both are same as far as gmat is concerned)

As X,Y ( X and Y should be parallel)
like X,Y ( X and Y should be parallel)
unike X,y ( X and Y should be parallel)
