A. Like Rousseau, Tolstoi rebelled - Clear n Concise
B. Like Rousseau, Tolstoi's rebellion was - Incorrect - compares Rousseau with rebellion
C. As Rousseau, Tolstoi rebelled - Incorrect - no clause after 'as'
D. As did Rousseau, Tolstoi's rebellion was - Awkward - rebellion is compared to what rousseau did.
E. Tolstoi's rebellion, as Rousseau's, was - Awkward - 'rousseau's' implies rousseau's rebellion which is wrong

Hi guys,
Really need to understand this ..... What is wrong with E ? Is it only because of "as" since like is used to compare nouns. ? Because we are actually comparing the two rebellions. That both the rebellions were similar. And it looks right ... What is the problem with that meaning ?
