标题: 关于AS和like的一道题~~~题号忘记了~
突然在机经里看到这道题~~

Because young children do not organize their attention or perceptions systematically, like adults,
they may notice and remember details that their elders ignore.
(A) like adults (B) unlike an adult (C) as adults (D) as adults do (E) as an adult
我们注意到 A 选项和 D 选项都符合语法规则，也都和前面的 children 保持数的一致性，从纯语法规
则上讲是都正确的。但是 A 存在歧义。我们不清楚 like adults 是和前一个分句构成整体还是和后一个分句构成整体，也就是不知道大人是在“do not organize”这个动作上和小孩一样还是在“may notice and remember”这个动作上和小孩一样，所以有歧义。
因为前后两个分句的助动词不一样，所以可以使用 as 结构区分。如果 as 结构的助动词和前一个分句一致，就应该和前一个分句构成整体；同样，如果和后一个分句的助动词一致，就应该和后一个分句构成整体。
前后两句的助动词不都是do么？as adults do 怎么就能区分出是修饰前一句还是修饰后一句呢？
like adults 为什么就不行呢？对解释比较困惑~~

imo, the explanations above is right.

for A, like adults, 2 possible understandings.
1)because young children do not organizesystematically,like adults------->adults do not organize, and children do the same as adults, both of them do not organize...

2)like adults, they may notice and remember....------->adults may notice and remember, and children do the same as adulits.

thus U have 2 understanding about the"like adults".<其实就是上文的解释>

2) for D, as adults do, logically, the sentence is not just comparing what children don't do to what adults do.
--->Children don't organize systematically. Adults do organize systematically

they may notice and remember( here we have the word "may", if the clause is used to describe the latter sentence, we should add the word" may" before "do"at least)

为什么“as adults do”前面有个逗号···

求解答，我觉得不需要逗号啊~
