As comparison but no clause

by mundasingh123 » Mon Aug 08, 2011 11:03 am
Salt deposits and moisture threaten to destroy the Mohenjo-Daro excavation in Pakistan, the site of an
ancient civilization that flourished at the same time as the civilizations in the Nile delta and the river valleys
of the Tigris and Euphrates.
(A) that flourished at the same time as the civilizations
(B) that had flourished at the same time as had the civilizations
(C) that flourished at the same time those had
(D) flourishing at the same time as those did
(E) flourishing at the same time as those were

In A , there is no verb in the clause after civilizations . I remember a post in which Ron had said that to bring about a comparison , the as conjunction needs to be followed by a clause
