Push for greater integration of global economy is not, like earlier, guided by complicated philosophical questions about the global fraternity, but the practical matters of business: cost savings and efficiency.
A. not, like earlier, guided by complicated philosophical questions about the global fraternity, but the practical matters of business
B. being guided by the practical matters of business, instead of complicated philosophical questions about the global fraternity, as it has been earlier
C. guided not by complicated philosophical questions about the global fraternity, as earlier, but by the practical matters of business
D. guided by the practical matters of business, not complicated philosophical questions about the global fraternity, which was the case earlier
E. guided not by complicated philosophical questions about the global fraternity, as has been the case earlier, but by the practical matters of business

[spoiler]OA: E[/spoiler]

I have a confusion between C and E
Differemce between c and E is that
C uses - 'as ealier' and
E uses - 'as has been the case earlier'.
Can you explain Why C is wrong or E preferred over C

Push for greater integration of global economy is guided not by complicated philosophical questions about the global fraternity, as earlier..

Lets simplify C in steps:
1) Push for greater integration of global economy is guided not XX, as earlier..
2) Push...is guided not XX, as earlier..

From 2 we can understand PUSH IS GUIDED is compared with EARLIER (just a time frame). Can we compare A CLAUSE "PUSH IS GUIDED" with A TIME (EARLIER). It's not apple to apple comparison

Moreover, AS is normally used to compare clauses/prep phrases. Hope it helps

I guess patanjali has explained it in a better manner when I couldn't do so :) Items for Comparison should be similar and proper.

IMO C.
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.
