Solution
Subjunctive + Parallelism
“Recent essays(plural)… describes(plural)” structure must be followed to maintain parallelism.
Hence, A, B, and C are incorrect because they are not parallel.
It is a case of past subjunctive and therefore, “were” must be used after “if”.
Hence, E is incorrect.
D is the best choice.
