The answer would be B - I dislike writing poems in English class as much as dissecting in biology class makes Jessica nauseous.

This is an example of faulty parallelism. The structure of the sentence is incorrect and is not stated correctly.

Hope that helps. -UnicornFudge aka Nadia

B)I dislike writing poems in English class as much as dissecting in biology class makes Jessica nauseous.

When you come across faulty parallelism you have to search for the best way to say the senteces without souning funny, in this case it could be:

I dislike writing poems in english class, just like how Jessica gets nausea from dissecting in Biology class.
