The books of W.E.B. DuBois

by soumyopriyosaha » Wed Jan 27, 2010 9:48 am
The books of W.E.B. DuBois before World War I constituted as fundamental a challenge to the accepted ideas of race relations that, two generations later, will be true of the writings of the radical writers of the 1960s.

(A) that, two generations later, will be true of
(B) that, two generations later, would be true of
(C) as, two generations later, would be true of
(D) as, two generations later, would
(E) just in the way that, two generations later, did

I'd go with D.

We need the idiom "as X as Y" so we can eliminate A, B, and E
C: we don't really need "be true of"

Yes, D, for the sake of brevity, I guess.
