The work of short fiction writer Charles Chesnutt reflects characteristic interests of his contemporary "local colorsists" as much as the intellectual ferment and historical reassessments of Black American culture during the late 19th century.

A - as much as the intellectual ferment and historical reassessments of Black American culture during the late 19th century.

B - as much as it did the intellectual ferment and historical reassessments of Black American culture during the late 19th century.


C- as much as it had reflected the intellectual ferment and historical reassessments of Black American culture during the late 19th century.


D - as much as it was reflective and characteristic of the intellectual ferment and historical reassessments of Black American culture during the late 19th century.


E- as much as it does the intellectual ferment and historical reassessments of Black American culture during the late 19th century.

IMO A.

IMO: E

B, C and D say as much as it did, or had or was...all past. His works are still around and they still reflect those characteristic interests.

A is a comparison issue i believe. In A, CC reflects character int as much as the intellectual ferment (not as much as it reflects int ferment) doesn't make sense. That's like saying the intellectual ferment is doing the reflecting. The author of the sentence is saying how CC's work reflects characteristic interests of his contemporary local colorsists as much as it reflects the intellectual ferment and historical reassessments of BA culture. So his work reflects both.

If A was comparing CC's work to someone elses work that portrayed the historical reassessments of BA culture, then I believe A would've been correct, granted with completely different meaning.
