extraordinary painter

by arora007 » Fri Aug 06, 2010 6:43 am
In the early twentieth century, an extraordinary painter could influence nearly all advanced artists, but today, for any one artist to influence practitioners of genres as varied as painting, video, and photography is nearly impossible.
(A) as varied as
(B) as varied as are
(C) as varied as those of
(D) that are as varied as your answer
(E) that are as varied as are

Not happy with the discussions at
https://gmatclub.com/forum/knewton-test-96247.html

why not C, as varied as those of X,Y and Z.

Please do answer my query
'X,Y and Z' is plural ?

although in first pass I fell for C, but if you re-read the sentence what this part is saying is

practitioners of genres as varied as painting, video, and photography

the variety of genres and what C does it unnecessarily introduces those, making it comparable to practitioner/s

exactly, these traps are so predictable... I too fell for C, only to later figure out the right answer A.
