[goelmohit2002]

IMO "E" is wrong...since there is no logical singular noun to which "that" can refer...

[nitya34]

Why A is Wrong?

it uses correct Modifier but wrong Comparisons?

[hetavdave]

Choice A incorrectly compares Leon Forrest with other artist's work (Henry Miller’s obsessive narratives) (Toni Morrison’s mythic languages ) (James Joyce’s internal explorations)

[haptas]

A is wrong because we should compare noun with another noun.

[gmat740]

How can C be wrong?

[Domnu]

C is not incorrect; it is the correct choice. Here's how I went about doing this:

Eliminate A, B, D: Leon Forrest is being compared to other people's work.
Eliminate E: the 'that of' here is completely unnecessary. This gives us E.

Yes, in A, in his work, and then Leon Forest is making the comparison ambigious, though modifier is correct,

in E, in more resembles , more is modifying resembles, so the than later on in non-underline portion is mis-matched, which is un-idiomatic.
