Plz post the reasons with the answer.
The right idiom is: aware of. so A,B and C are eliminated. now b/w D and E, in D-"....as wide of" is unidiomatic. the correct idiom is- As....As so that means the sentence should be "....as wide a radical disrepancy as ever" so I would have marked E.

What's the OA?
'As wide as' is the correct idiom and not 'as wide of as'. Present tense 'show' in 'B' is preferable to present continuous in E.
Yep, It's C. I was confused between C & E. can you tell the reason plz & also the below 1.
The correct usage is "do so" and not "do it" that eliminates A and B. i would have blindly marked C but giving due respect all choices and not making any blunder, read the D and E too. and both D and E distorts the meaning by changing the sequence of events.
'As wide as' is the correct idiom and not 'as wide of as'. Present tense 'show' in 'B' is preferable to present continuous in E.
So, I opt for B

Aware of and aware that both are acceptable so idiom as----as is under test here. So with POE left with B and E. B simple tense is preferred over continuous.

(a) looks absurd... (c) is wrong gramatically..we more often than not avoid using a comma sign before 'that' (d) is wrong becoz "kept control of" is a wrong phrase... (e) follows the same logic as that of (c)
So ...B can be the answer...however even in B...a definite article "the" is missing before Inflation..

cheers, Amit
I still could not get the reason for "B", could you explain the meaning.....the word inflation confuses me with the meaning of the sentence.
Be as your father or Be like your father is correct. As or like here is modifying verb not subject, so I think 1st sentence is better. Please provide the explanation.

Like is used when you focus on two nouns where As is used when you focus on two nouns doing action.Or you can also say As is used for clauses (which have verb and subject) As is also used when talking about Processes.
Now, here: I think Be like your father is correct. We arn't talking about the father and son/daughter doing any action so like is used.
if the sentence is: Drive as your Father does. so here As is preferred.
