(B) so listening to Jane Freed’s guileless child narrator takes the operagoer
(C) so the guileless child narrator of Jane Freed takes the operagoer
(D) listening to Jane Freed’s guileless child narrator takes the operagoer

解釋
This sentence is based on the comparative construction just as x, so y, x and
y must be grammatically parallel elements. The underlined portion of the
sentence makes up most of the y element, which must be revised to make it
parallel to the x clement. The first part of the comparison is about reading
a diary, and the second part is about listening to a narrator.
Reading Samuel Pepys’s diary gives a student ... is parallel to listening to
Jane Freed’s ... narrator takes the operagoer
