strange meaning

[Deleted because this question is from a banned source - see below.]


Hello


this question is from 1000 sc, the OA is A. But I dont get it, because in the second comparison, the author is basically trying to say that the smell of a fine wine is better than the smell of a grape juice. If so, how could he describe the grape juice's smell as an exquisite bouquet?

I mean that if the author says that the smell of a grape juice is also exquisite, then the author is saying that the smell of the juice is as good as that of a fine wine then the author is changing the real meaning of the sentence, that the lightning-fast genius of playwright Tom Stoppard is as good as the pedestrian efforts of some of his contemporaries.

And I think the author means that the lightning-fast genius of playwright Tom Stoppard is superior to the pedestrian efforts of some of his contemporaries.

That's why I chose E. Any suggestion?

Please read (and follow!) the forum guidelines before posting.

1000SC is a banned source because it illegally uses copyrighted problems without permission. (And, even if it didn't, we'd ban it anyway - a lot of the problems in the set are fine, but there are a number of bad ones that can actually mess up your study if you use them!)
