73. According to a recent poll, owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land is still a goal of a majority of young adults, like that of earlier
generations.
A like that of earlier generations
B as that for earlier generations
C just as earlier generations did
D as have earlier generations
Logical predication + Parallelism
This sentence compares a single goal shared by generations. The second part of the sentence must have the same structure as the first part: a clause with a subject and a verb. Like is used to introduce a phrase, but as must be used to introduce a clause. The phrase owning ... land is the subject of the first clause; in the correct sentence, the pronoun
it refers back to the phrase and is the subject of the second clause. The first verb is also parallels the second verb was. A goal does not need to be repeated in the second clause because it is understood. The prepositional phrases of a majority of young adults and of earlier generations are parallel and correct.
A Like introduces a phrase, but a clause, introduced by
as, is required to make the comparison parallel
B The phrase is not parallel to the main clause
C Subject and verb of the second clause must correspond to those of the first
D The clause is illogical and not parallel to the main clause
E Correct. In this sentence as shows comparison and introduces a subordinate clause in which all grammatical elements correspond to those in the main clause.
The correct answer is E.
E中，第一个 its 指代a freestanding house ，第二个it指代owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land ，会不会指代不一致？根据代词一致性原则：相同的代词指代对象要一致
看的好仔细啊，赞一个。
我的理解，“owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land ”是一个惯用语，不能对它进行严格的语法考虑。
its应该是指someone's，不分男女的时候，用it来指代人。
请指正。
谢谢sl
it可以指代人吗？？
查了longman:
只是说：用于指性别不明的孩子或动物
接受
但是，施舍点evidence吧
