RESOLUÇÃO DA QUESTÃO:
The extract above (O resumo acima)
a) develops the idea that nothing is as it seems.
(DESENVOLVE A IDEIA DE QUE nada é o que parece.)
-INCORRETA porque desenvolve uma ideia de analogia entre dois tempos e não a ideia de que nada é o que parece.

(APRESENTA UM RELATO DE uma série de contendas recentes.)
-INCORRETA porque o texto não menciona "a series of recent contentions".
c) suggests that there is room for debate on the level of comparisons presented.
(SUGERE QUE há espaço para debate sobre o nível de comparações apresentado.)
-INCORRETA porque o texto sugere QUE NÃO HÁ ESPAÇO DE DEBATE indicada pela expressão "", conforme o trecho:
"[...] in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only. "
em suma , o período era tão parecido com o atual, que algumas de suas autoridades mais barulhentas insistiam em que fosse recebido, para o bem ou para o mal, apenas no grau superlativo de comparação.
d) establishes an analogy between the past and the time in which a story takes place.

"[...] in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only. "
