Solution:
Idioms + Parallelism
“Like X, Y” followed by Y’s description is the correct idiom where X and Y are nouns.
A satisfies the above conditions and hence, A is the best choice. Moreover, it is clear and concise.
B: “death”(noun) and “killed”(verb) are not parallel.
C: “Died” and “killed” are not same. It is wordy.
D: “Similar to Byron…Jack was killed” is awkward.
E: “As did Byron” violates parallelism. The correct way to write would be: “As was Byron, Jack was killed…”
