The cathedrals of the Middle Ages were community centers just as much as they were purely religious edifices; and they were structures that represented a city’s commitment to a public realm, the opposite of being a private one.
community centers just as much as they were purely religious edifices; and they were structures that represented a city’s commitment to a public realm, the opposite of being a private one
community centers as much as purely religious edifices; they were structures representing a city’ s commitment to a public realm, as opposed to private
community centers as well as purely religious edifices; they were structures that represented a city’s commitment to a public realm, not private ones
as much community centers as purely religious edifices, structures that represented a city’s commitment to a public realm, as opposed to a private one
as much community centers as they were purely religious edifices, structures representing a city’s commitment to a public realm, opposite of a private one
个人理解，这道题一定要读懂语义。
D选项里的structure说代表一个城市对公众领域（王国）的承诺（相对于私人领域），但是前半句community centers和 purely religious edifices的关系是as much as【as much as表示其连接的两者在程度上是相同的（程度的比较）】，这里有暗示两者其实是完全截然相反的，有对立。
那么其他选项用了they were 就不是特别贴切了，一是有代词的ambiguity，二是直接把二者都包进去了，体现不出对立。
所以在此题中，structure that一句做同位语直接修饰purely religious edifices是make sense的
句中的as opposed to 也有进一步体现community centers和 purely religious edifices有对立关系。
