GMAT Club Tests | V05-19

I think I would agree with arijita1018. If I had to choose one, I would choose D because it is just perfect. I would reject E because it is wordy, not because it has to do anything with the future. A, B, C are rejected not because they are wordy, but because they have incorrect use of AS (in A and B) and "figure of history" changes the meaning (in C).
