IMO..

A says "Like Austen, the characters of Forster".....here Austen is wrongly....compared to characters

Comparison should be between comparable things..

Another Vote for C,
comparison of nouns will take Like and not As
Its better to burn out than to fade away

My vote goes for C too.

If we add a coma after "Austen's", would E be acceptable?

"As are Austen's, Forster's characters are concerned largely with achieving economic security in a world riddled with class distinctions."

Is it the correct use of "As"?
Isn' t it a bit "wordy"?

Thanks for the help.
